Gen Z wants to work somewhere where they can express their true self.

Gen Z wants to work somewhere where they can express their true self. Recently, a headline reporting six in 10 employers said they’d already fired recent Gen Z graduate hires has gone viral. And one TikTok from @justwaynecreative is gaining traction after reacting to it—while adding on why exactly he thinks this gen is being let go so quickly. He says the young gen just isn’t able to express themselves at work, though “Gen Z isn’t contributing enough” to get what they want at work. It’s a notable generational difference: older gens separate work from their life, where younger gens seemingly want to bring their authentic sense of purpose into the workplace. And while it’s definitely not a negative trait to some (Gen Z included), others think Gen Z needs to realize that “business is business – it’s not a social club.” (Fast Company)
