[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Hard to manage" = we set boundaries and don't let managers or work encroach on our personal lives.

I get 60 minutes for lunch. I'm not pausing my lunch to do one quick thing for you. I will do one quick thing for you in 37 minutes when my lunch hour ends.

If you want me to log on for 1 hour each day during my PTO to triage my emails, then I will require that 1 hour of PTO back into my bank of hours, otherwise, I will check all emails when I'm back from time off.

My work day begins at 8 am and ends at 5 pm. Yes, I will always decline any meeting invite sent where the meeting start time is after my ending time. There's no "just this once" on my end if there's no "just this once" on your end...meaning, I won't stay later just this once if you will never approve me coming in later just this once. "I can't allow you to start at 9 am. I'd have to allow others to set their own hours." Ok, well then, I can't allow you to have any of my time after my 5 pm quitting time.

We also don't allow you to fire 2 people and dump their work on us without some kind of additional compensation.

I am 50 years old and have had several managers in my life. They all allowed me to come in an hour late or leave an hour early every now and then without taking PTO, for whatever reason…car trouble, kids, appointments, etc. They might not have been inclined to do so if I had been a total stickler about meetings that don’t end at 5:00. The point is, you should be building working relationships, trust, and dependability in your workplace. Sounds like you have no interest in this. You seem very transactional. I am glad that Gen Z wants to set boundaries, but you might want to consider being flexible every now and then. [/quote]

They’re an accountant. Not exactly renowned for people skills.

Also apparently blissfully unaware of the massive downsizing coming to their industry due to the unholy trinity of PE, offshoring, and AI.

He’ll, public accounting firms won’t even let them ID themselves as CPA’s anymore.
