Out of all the Gen Z bashing headlines I've ever seen... this is the only one I am inclined to agree with. It doesn't even have to be a politically motivated disagreement; I've met too many young people that once you disagree with them on something, try to completely avoid talking to you and also do not take criticism of any kind well.

Maybe there's a degree of truth to this, but the issue doesn't only apply to Gen Z... I've had plenty of overgrown children in their 40s and 50s lose their shit in the workplace when the slightest bit of pushback comes up about anything. I'd say this is more of a general communication skills problem these days
Uh, that's because the different views are fucking wild bad, and they're not just putting up with it.
If the social contact was the same as it was when today's old people were young, then today's young people would be much more willing to put up with shit.
Eh, this generational conflict stuff is nonsense. For years I’ve run teams of boomers, X, Y, and now Z. Have I had to punt some younger folks because they couldn’t work past some not-work-relevant difference with someone else in the office? Sure. But that’s not a Z thing at all.
Anyone who can’t check their personal baggage at the door and get work done as part of a team ends up being shown to the sidewalk. There’s no generational component to this, it’s happening to everyone of all ages.
I hope this guy's company can't adjust to reality & it's eaten by a Gen-Z owned competitor.

Take the world’s Big Four consulting firms, for example: Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, and EY are all offering incoming junior hires soft skills training, including lessons on how to speak up in meetings.
Thats how you het taken off the fucking assignement.... Jfc
Calling highers ups on what is likely purposeful corruption is no way to move up lol
No amount of fake training will fix this dynamic

It's fucking hilarious seeing a bunch of septics in here without a scooby about Channel 4 deciding it must be full of bigoted managers that the gen Z won't tolerate. When it's always been one of the most progressive channels in the UK and has been allowing diverse voices to shine for years.
