Reddit, who claimed to be an experienced manager, shared his fight with hiring employees Gen Z. According to the user, the gene is not lazy. Most of them are actually smart, confident and good with technology. However, many of them come with high expectations.
Some candidates arrive late for interviews or skipping. Some rejection of jobs if remote work is not offered. New tenants ask for flexible hours within a few days or take feedback too personally.
“I should have asked new tenants for a more flexible clock within one week of the start, or push back on feedback, as if I personally attacked their identity,” the user wrote.
“I respect that they really appreciate the boundaries and mental health, yes. But sometimes it looks as there is no room for basic professionalism,” the user added.
The manager wants a modern, balanced team, but he says it is difficult when job applicants behave as if they have joined informal cooperation than to proper work.
“As a manager, I want to build a team that is modern, balanced and thoughtful.
“I don’t ask anyone to burn or give up their values just to meet me halfway,” the manager added.
After the last check, the Reddit user seems to delete the post. Livemint also found that the Reddit user’s account has been suspended for the time being, while the reason remains unclear.

This is not the first time the manager expressed dissatisfaction about GEN employees. In the same Reddit group, another contribution called generations of professionals “extremely transaction”.

“I don’t just want to concentrate all” digital natives “in a bucket because he has” different “attention.
