Ever feel balancing work and life seems harder than ever? On this week’s episode of Corporate Pizza Party, we navigate the murky waters of workplace burnout, especially focusing on modern pressures like parenting and the evolving work-life balance. Our spirited debate spans generational divides, touching on how different age groups cope with stress and burnout. Highlights include a humorous look at LinkedIn posts targeting Gen Z employees and comparing millennial versus Gen Z work attitudes through funny videos. We also take a nostalgic trip down memory lane looking at old TV ads that depicted the high-stress lives of parents back in the day. 

Our conversation takes a serious turn as we examine the challenges Gen Z and millennials face in achieving the American dream. Sky-high student loan debt, soaring education costs, and the struggles of buying a home without help are all on the table. The pressure to succeed, compounded by the need for side gigs, fuels a pervasive sense of burnout. Social media’s unrealistic portrayals of success only add to the stress. We offer practical advice for younger professionals, emphasizing upskilling and financial planning. We wrap up with plans for future episodes and a heartfelt thank you to our listeners, promising more insightful and enjoyable content.
