What are some of your interesting takes on your GenZ co-workers?
What is it that you like and dislike about them in general?
They talk about restuarants alot. I think 60% of their conversation is around which restaurant or pub is "cute" or "vibes".
But that might be a Bangalore thing.
Also they watch alot of Indian OTT and nothing else.
Saare chutiya indian shows dekh liye but Oppenheimer nhe dekhi abhi tak, which is shameful.
I said this elsewhere and will say it here too: GenZ are entitled. This doesn;t mean anything bad. They're just entitled
I cannot explain how happy I was to just get a job, come to office on time and do the hard work when it was my first job. I used to work so hard. Without even being told
Gen Z need to be told again and again and disciplined again and again to do the basic
In a country of 1.5B people, how are people not thankful in being the top 0.1% and earning 10L+ as their first salary.
That is where I sense entitlement with most GenZs. BTW you might be awesome and apologies if I hurt you

As a GenZ I agree with you.
Our generation work for comfort and better lifestyle. Just like jiyo aur jeene do😂
Your generation worked for better income
Your previous generation worked for better living.

Haina? Doomed gen

Pros: They're confident, they know much more than we did at their age, they are mission driven
Biggest Con: Their attention spans and dopamine levels are fucked. I imagine it will be super hard for them to pursue long term projects (building a company, making a marriage successful, writing a book etc.).
I hope I am wrong though.
They're very different from us millennials. They're not as 'scared' or 'respectful' of authority, as we were.
I don't know if it's a good thing, or not. I'll be open minded.

Sometimes a thank my circumstances for allowing me to grow up in a small town in my formative years. My peers have no respect/shame towards more experienced folk. They simply do away with them.
@Ch0nkey05 I feel exactly the way you do
Upbringing has a lot of difference
It is sometimes shocking how people talk to seniors/people with more experience sometimes. Using “Tu” in conversation and stuff

My experience with GenZs has been mostly positive.
Pros:
1. Higher levels of intelligence and innovative thinking than the previous generation.
2. Curiosity to learn new things and look for good work
Cons:
1. Can get distracted or lose direction easily, hence the need for closer and consistent guidance
2. Lower levels of work hygiene
Execution at scale is the real deal as Elon Musk points out in twitter multiple times.
Also, I must add genZ think they are tech oriented but I must say they lack depth. Searching for a library and invoking its function to get desired results is not innovation.

I don't know why but many of the genz that I have come across i have found them to be really insensitive, thinking very highly of themselves, less respectful
Had a gen z intern who didn’t do a task I briefed her with on Friday morning until Monday evening citing mental burnout. As a burnt out millennial who has been in the workforce for 8 long years, I think y’all don’t have enough work experience to be making burnout claims at your first company
@StickyGooey idk if you realise work happens to be burn out, why perpetuate that toxic cycle?
Naurrrr I definitely did not. It was a really minor task that should’ve taken a couple of hours max. Didn’t expect her to work over the weekend and she had all of Friday and Monday 😩😩 I am the boss I wish I had

They question what has been taken for granted more than millennials and boomers
I think that is why they use social media lesser. They also have less sex. They also drink lesser. (have just read stats around all these)
I work with them only when there is no other option but to go through the torchure. When you explain,they don't listen. When they have to perform - they want help. On top of it - their attitude is such that we know everything and dont tell us what to do and what not to. OK smart*** who in the hell wants to do it anyway.
Fully disrespectful, arrogant, full of ego disorganized as hell and they are proud of all these things. Amazing!
GenZ are prolly the generation that will save us all. They think outside the box. They actually focus on important things such as work life balance and a better work environment
Honestly, i am little envious of how carefree this generation is … i also learned a little bit from them… I understand the fear of authority is just in our head because of how we are brought up….
I don’t necessarily find Gen Z intelligent or creative ( some of them are but so is in our generation or generation before us)… but entitled yes!

GenZ and just started working. I think our attention spans are fucked because of having college online ??? And as someone mentioned here, we’re working for comfort, not a better income. I wish I could find fulfilment in working, but the way things are in corporate, I think no of us are ready to take shit from others because we seriously have become so entitled. I’m planning to get my MBA done soon because I need some reality checks. Sighs.
duuuuude ikr?! i mean, i feel like millennials i work with are entitled to think i owe them my peace of mind and my weekends just because they’re senior to me??! i dont get it??? like i have a life outside of work, as long as i complete my tasks in the stipulated work hour, i can do whatever i please because i am not living this life to get married to a desk and my laptop???
there are so many beautiful things out there i’d rather do like travel, read, create art than corporate outside of official corporate hours i mean
i honestly feel sad for the gen x & y
I think most of the millennials ( in their 30s) are literally stupid and immature...they will be like ..I am in 30s and still hold grudges on 20s kid .
Eventually they will learn, my way or highway way approach will only works till mid 20’s . After that its all about your way 😂

All these terms refer to Americans not others
Like ka toh kutch nhi hai. But dislike hai, such as unko 24 hr restaurant me jaana hai. They always look everything with so called “vibe”. I mean if i would be the CEO, I would simply fire all of them. Jaao saalo restaurant me hi raho tum
Zoomer bros, don't worry. These uncles will apologize once they work with Gen Alpha

One take i think widely applies to them: They feel entitled to a life they are not willing to work for.
They start out as a communist, thinking others should provide them with everything. They hate to work yet want the money to spend. They derive their identity from what others think of them(if they post something about palestine and others like it, it is a proof they are a good person). Hate the propensity for drama though. Takes up their entire mental bandwidth. Also driven by feelings for some reason.
The part i like is that there is little judgement for people pursuing what they like. Many do, and we might see some great outcomes out of it.
