I've had interactions with Gen Z in the workplace. I've also interacted with Gen Z females in a mating context.

My Gen Z interactions in a mating context have been rather limited as an older Millennial.

My workplace interactions with Gen Z have been mixed. Some seemed inept and some were ok. In some ways, I've perceived Gen Z as more extreme versions of some of the worst Millennial traits.

A lot of things being said about Gen Z in the 2020s were said about Millennials in the late 2000s-early 2010s.

In the late 1990s, I remember my father complaining about working with 1970s born Generation X'ers and how they were worse workers than most Baby Boomers.

Ever try working from home?

Ever try working from home?

Yes - I find myself ending up anywhere but my computer. I find myself going to the gym, laying in bed all day, or taking a trip somewhere.

Take it from someone who's been there I don't think I'll ever go back to office life and working from home has so many pros it's incredible I don't know if you're a natural introvert like me but I love it!

Today's teens and early adolescents are similar to folks of that age, immediately after The Summer Of Love.... Not quite sure if they were boys or girls, and very tough to hire. We're going to have to undergo a cultural shift similar to the one we went through in The 1980s, when moving up the corporate ladder, being a successful entrepreneur, and purchasing a home in a ritzy neighborhood was no longer seen as "normie stuff" anymore

Yes, this had it's problems also, namely the lionization of consumerism. What we're doing today though is living lots of folks on the bottom rung of the socioecomic ladder, and ravaging our economy, in an era where we're facing unprecedented overseas competition from overseas markets

Not a false statement

As opposed to wasting your time in the office with pointless chit chat, sipping coffee, taking 30 minute shvts, and pretending to look busy all day? No one actually works all day, except hard laborers.

You make a good point.

When I was 21 or so, I remember hearing about how my age demographic made terrible employees.

Here I am at 33, hearing the same thing about today's early 20-somethings.

I'm an introvert...but an introvert who needs to become more comfortable interacting with gals.

If I worked from home, I'd basically never interact with gals in person on workdays.

That’s a broad generalization and doesn’t apply to what I do.

I understand that working remotely has become a huge part of a lot of people’s lives, and I suppose that a lot of those people who can prove the value of their remote work should have no issue maintaining that lifestyle moving ahead.
