I love Gen Z openers about their struggles

[Anonymous]

I love Gen Z openness about their struggles...many of them openly share their layoffs, disappointments etc with the world. Their feelings are not new. I am 47 and they are saying things I wish I could say loudly when I was laid off in my 20s but couldn't because we viewed corporations as these biiiiiig super important entities that we needed to bow too.

We criticize them a lot but honestly they are not gay off base. We just took crap and keep taking crap. I think I am Gen X right, yeah we are very good at keeping our mouth shut....

Gen Z has a lot to learn about TMI. The number of cover letters and responses to questions I sorted through for one set of interns revealing inappropriate information in a job application about medical issues and trauma was astonishing.

I came across a video on YouTube where a girl was saying how she had herpes, describing her outbreaks etc....

I see this at my office and it's tiring at times. I feel like I'm parenting. And then wonder, maybe I'm not moving with the times and too uptight.

For better or worse, a culture of shame is kind of dying.

They grew up with TikTok and YouTube where being extremely open is rewarded.

Good topic to follow. But it’s one thing to share with a circle of friends or coworkers and another thing to lay it all out on twitter or YouTube.

I wonder this too but then I get complaints from others in that generation about their peers being inappropriate, sharing too much, etc. I really feel like work places function best when people don’t share absolutely everything but have a nice friendly relationship. I think some members of the young generation are having trouble finding that balance. Being enmeshed in your coworkers personal lives is actually kind of exhausting and I think a lot of them are learning that.

That’s a different issue that over sharing on tik tok, but I guess related. I also see a lot of people sharing their “hot takes” on SM and then their coworkers complaining that it is offensive.

Yes. I somehow know that one of my 23 year old subordinates got married because her husband did not want to lose his virginity until marriage, and that she personally was not a virgin at her wedding.

I think Covid messed up their social skills and they really just want someone to connect with.
