Gen Z is being pushed to meet higher expectations at work. Recent survey data from Resume Template indicates that 30% of full-time Gen Z employees are being asked to enhance their performance, with 11% being placed on a performance-improvement plan (PIP), the highest rate of any generation. And it’s likely because of older managers’ perception of the young gens work ethic; Gen Z can be perceived as having “reduced productivity” due to putting work / life balance first, and their ability to use tech more easily (meaning: faster) than older coworkers. The latter can contribute to Gen Z tracking the highest for engaging in non-work activities on the clock—though it’s notable the majority are working their full hours. (The Business Journals)
