To explain this phenomenon, we need to go back years, when young people who were considered well-qualified compensated for their lack of experience with an enthusiastic attitude and accepted low salaries.
But the post-pandemic generation of young people does not accept this model well, and expresses it much more forcefully, especially those who work in sectors such as technology, finance or marketing, which until recently maintained a high demand for labor.
All these movements are causing a “generational shock”, since according to data from a study carried out by the ResumeBuider platform among managers and bosses with responsibilities, when it comes to hiring, 74% consider that “Generation Z” is the worst age group to work with, and half find serious problems doing so in their day-to-day lives.
This translates into the fact that more than half of the bosses surveyed, 59%, have had to fire a GenZ employee, although 46% say that the most common option for getting rid of them is to “let them go” (i.e., not even trying to make a counter offer in the event of resignation), because they don’t have a pulse when it comes to firing. In fact, 20% of these firings are done in less than a week, and another 27% only wait a month.
