Part 1/10:
Generational Clash: Generations Z’s Workplace Culture and Public Perception
The Narrative of Entitlement and Laziness
Across corporate corridors and social media, there's a pervasive narrative that Generation Z employees, born between 1996 and 2010, are inherently lazy, entitled, and easily offended. Recent polls of about a thousand business leaders nationwide highlight these sentiments, revealing that 75% of executives believe most new college grads they've hired are unsuccessful, with 60% stating some have had to be fired. This negative perception fuels a trend where many bosses contemplate avoiding hiring Gen Z workers altogether, citing difficulties in managing their expectations and behaviors.
