Gen Z Sucks (and what you should do about it as a leader)
<p>You don’t have to search far to find headlines reporting on all of the ways Gen Z sucks in the workplace.</p>
<p>Here are a few examples from the past week alone:</p>
<blockquote>

<p>What’s even more alarming is the content found in the comment section of these articles:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“They seem to lack all skills except using a phone. How is American business going to survive with these kids as employees? That fortunately falls under the category of ‘not my problem.’”</p>
<p>“Gen Zer’s do not have people skills, communication skills, or work ethic. And the education they think they have is not the same one I was given.”</p>
<p>“stop enabling them. They are already the most entitled generation. They need praise all of the time because they got trophies just for showing up and do the minimum. you know what you get for showing up to work and doing the minimum required? the minimum pay check.”</p>
<p>“It comes down to respect and consideration, something that both of these younger generations struggle with. They excel at narcissism and entitlement.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Summarizing the articles and the comments, here are some things that Gen Z sucks at:</p>
