Gen Z at Work: Lazy, Loud, or the Wake-Up Call Corporate Needed?

Gen Z has officially entered the chat and corporate America isn’t ready.

Jenny and Sarah rip into the chaos (and low-key brilliance) of the newest generation in the workplace. Are they entitled job hoppers with no soft skills… or the only ones brave enough to call BS on burnout culture? 

Spoiler: it’s complicated — and very, very human.

They unpack everything from Gen Z’s allergy to fake leadership to why they’ll quit faster than you can say “circle back.” Plus, the hosts drag every generation (including their own) through the mud for good measure.

You’ll get:

  • The truth about Gen Z’s “bad attitude” and why it’s actually a boundary
  • How pandemic schooling and parenting styles rewired workplace expectations
  • Real talk on feedback, flexibility, and why managers need to grow up too
  • The tension between “just do your job” and “I need meaning in my job”
  • A mirror moment for HR pros who keep trying to lead with policies instead of people

Because every generation swears the next one’s the problem, but maybe Gen Z’s just the first one bold enough to say the quiet part out loud.

Hit play.
Laugh a little, cringe a lot, and maybe rethink how you talk about “kids these days.”
