On Tuesday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about Generation Z workers.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Despite many of them having only just entered the workforce, Generation Z \u2014 those born from 1997 onwards \u2014 is already getting a bad rap at the office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a recent survey of 1,300 managers<\/a>, three out of four agree that Gen Z is harder to work with than other generations<\/a> \u2014 so much so that 65% of employers said they have to fire them more often.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One in eight have let go of a Gen Zer less than one week after their start date, the study found.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The results ring true with managers across the US and in various industries, who report that young hires have been difficult to deal with, particularly when it comes to language.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel kind of hamstrung on what I can and can\u2019t say,\u201d Peter, a New Jersey-based manager in the hospitality industry, told The Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cI do think the pandemic had a big role to play in that because for all of them, this was their first job out of college and their last years were spent remote,\u201d McDonnell, 28, told The Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting their careers during a pandemic may have stunted Gen Z\u2019s office etiquette.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, 36% of survey respondents reported poor communication skills<\/a> among their young hires.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Employers are also finding that Gen Z hires tend to be more easily offended on the political front.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, a 2022 Deloitte survey<\/a> found that, despite having only just entered the workforce, 37% of Gen Zers say they\u2019ve already rejected a job or assignment based on their personal ethics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur Gen Z employees dominated our culture with social justice fundamentalism,\u201d Matt, the leader of a nonprofit in Colorado who withheld his last name, told The Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is initiated by the 25-year-old comms manager is then adopted by previously rational Harvard and Yale types who begin leveling accusations of \u2018white supremacist colonialism.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because Gen Zers are bringing their politics into the workplace, more and more employers report that they\u2019re walking on eggshells \u2014 and even fearful of their own subordinates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a normal human being and certainly not an angry racist or homophobe or anything like that, but I don\u2019t know where the line is,\u201d Peter said, \u201cand it feels like with the younger generation, the line keeps getting redrawn every day.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What did we expect? We taught them to be offended by everything. We took the guard rails off of what was right and wrong–it was all according to how you felt. We created a generation that can bully electronically and we taught them to try to compromise with a bully rather than to fight back. We are simply reaping what we have sown. How do we fix this? We introduce the concept of black and white and remove some (not all) of the gray. We give them rules and structure and tell them that being offended is not a card you can play to get your own way. We strongly encourage them to grow up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
