“Gen Z’ers are just getting started.”
People have varying and strong opinions about Gen Z.
As a Gen Z/millennial cusper, I find myself sometimes strongly disliking being considered Gen Z.
“You ask them a question, but they dont answer because they have their AirPods in their ears.
Almost all of them come to work and stick those in their ears.”
“I’m a young millennial and manage a bunch of Gen Z’ers.
For the most part, I find them to be very fun, intelligent, and capable.
The one difference that always makes them stand out is their office attire.
I don’t think anyone ever taught a lot of them aboutlookingprofessional.”

“I consider myself a ‘young’ millennial, as I was born in 1992.
I also relate most to millennials who are between 30 and 35.
That being said, I notice most differences are with my Gen Z coworkers under 22.
I don’t necessarily disagree with them either.”
4.“Differences?
Nobody under the age of 30 wants to do any actual work.
There’s zero work ethic among young people these days.
And before you call me a boomer, I’m 48.
I’m a Xennial; get your stereotypes correct…
But you’re probably too lazy to even do that.”

“Millennial here; I am used to working and planning my private life around it.
I have noticed that Gen Z does the exact opposite.
The downside of that is that I cannot count on them at work.
Even when they’re at work, it feels like they dont actually work.
They probably dont get burnout as easily as millennials, so thats good.
I am only speaking from personal experience and am not saying the whole generation is like that.
The ones I had to work with were, though.”
“My partner, a Gen X, was recently impressed by his Gen Z coworker.
Gen Z is really going to change the world.
Nobody can create a toxic work environment like a boomer can.
They are bullies and should retire; they just can’t give up their control over others.”
Gen Z’ers are just getting started.
“I’m riding that Xennial line between two generations.
As someone who often had to work for boomers, their currency was primarily misery.

“For basic info, I’m Gen X, born in the 70s.
What I’ve seen is a basic lack of thinking on their feet.
If ‘A’ occurs, then do ‘B.’
“Gen X here, the positives are that they do have a solid work ethic.
They are more interested in being engaged in all aspects of the process.
The negative is the need for a constant ‘good job.’
We call it doing our jobs and want validation when we have done work above ‘good job.'”
“They’re so open about mental health and feelings, which I admire the hell out of.
