I sure hope it's just a complete coincidence, or they're easily the most high maintenance generation of workers ever, haha. I'll go back to yelling at my cloud now.
Dude, Gen Z totally has it right. I've learned a lot from them.

One of my staff is a boomer and her husband is in the hospital right now and will be for the next three weeks. I finished a conversation with her this morning where I encouraged her to visit him during the day (just bust out for a couple hours, paid) so she could have her evenings to wind down. It's very stressful to work all day, then go to the hospital all night. I don't want to see her doing that.

People shouldn't work a minute past five. You shouldn't want to steal people's time. It's literally theft.

Five days a week/40+ hours a week is absurd. I hope this new generation keeps forcing change.
