The 45-60 thing is closely related to the excessive cost of health care - remove legal requirements for employers to provide it and the hiring landscape would brighten up considerably.

I’ve had much more trouble with Millennial employees and their Obama-Utopian world views than with Gen Z - but one thing Gen Z has trouble with is understanding the value of longevity. Six months is an eternity to them, and they can’t wait to leave and find something more exciting to do - but they aren’t building track records that are going to help them when the great opportunity comes their way. And those shiny new things usually don’t work out for them…

Look, I no longer work with young people so I offer no comment, as my experiences are becoming out-of-date.

However, your comment indicating a certain impatience on the part of the Gen Zers if the project is not fast and exciting does resonate as a likely dynamic in a workplace populated by various age groups. Resonate in a non-helpful way.

My first jobs, I did whatever I was told. Impatience or any sort of dissatisfaction never entered my mind.
