Their parents were overprotective towards them which caused them them to be spoiled

The pandemic caused their social skills atrophy

They have no achievable financial goals which causes them to not work as hard as prev. gen

They value DEI more than traditional professionalism

They seek comfort instead of challenge

Circumstantial evidence and no quantitative data among references

Every generation calls the one after them lazy and the one before them overbearing

They would work as hard if they had goals that were achievable

Every generation has lazy people and they stick out more

They work smarter not harder. Although they work less they achieve the same result

• The already existing positions are occupied by older people.

• They do not accept feedbacks and crituques from their bosses (sensitive)

• The overprotective parenting took away their opportunity to learn the necessary skills.

• They do not have a work experience

• They are refusing the work ethic and rules, Gen Z and managers can not agree on the rules.

Not valid:

• They are hardworking but do not want to work on other co-workers work.

• They are not lazy they are innovative and efficient (achievement oriented)

• Their understanding/perspective of work is different.

• They are hardworking but because of the communication problems in the workplace there are a lot of conflicts going on.

• No internal evaluation, mostly the critiques are against them from other people

Due to pandemic they didn’t had any work experience.

Gen Z prioritzes financial security and as a result they can leave their hobs or underperform.

Gen Z also prioritize their personal freedom therefore let their company decide what they wear or interfere with their personal lives.

Gen Z is much more likely to spend time on their interests rather than what task was given to them primarily.

-Most people accuse Gen z of being lazy and not resilient and they would be correct as gen z although being inexperienced, they don’t try to better themselves and instead cut corners using AI such as chatgpt to make things easier.

-Gen z also doesn’t seem to care about work attire and dress-code and they go to work in ridiculous outfits rather than wear comfortable outfits to focus on work they focus on themselves.

-Gen z although they may seem so uncaring are actually very sensitive to judgement and feedback, making themselves look like victims of work harrassment, they are not as resilient as previous generations.

-Gen z are also not as driven as they like to present themselves as they lack in motivation and use most of their time at work wasting time on their phones.

-Gen z also doesn’t like to do more than their contractual obligation and even with these issues, they have extremely high expectations from their employers.

-Gen z have been called sensitive by many generations before them and this is not their own fault, as it is because their parents (which are gen x) smothering and spoiling them, shielding them from any and all confrontations from the outside world and thus creating mebtally unstable individuals.

-Gen z are also not as hardworking as previous generations and they don’t feel the need to work more than they have to because they have seen from their previous experiences that they won’t get promoted no matter what and they have lost their motivation to work as a result.

-Gen z although they have been called lazy, are actually just working smarter, not harder with the use of AI technologies which make their work run much more smoothly and frees up time for more social time to spend with friends.

-Gen z are also not as sensitive as many claim, they are just more confident and they respect themselves too much to let anyone disrespect or tear them down, making it seem like they are too sensitive to critisicm as a result.

Gen Z is not mentally weak they are just more educated on mental illness.

Gen Z can use different approaches to complete a task such as using technology in an advanced level.

Gen Z is not unmotivated but actually uninterested in their tasks.

Because Gen Z decides to use AI rather than doing tasks in a much more time consuming way they are portrayed much less hardworking.
