Maybe this is a left coast thing, or the Times is pushing a "quit and make way for the woke workforce" agenda.

The GenZs I know aren't this obnoxious, and I don't know ANYONE in the workforce who's afraid of them.

That said, I've heard of newly-minted graduates who expect to be treated like a seasoned businessperson. To these cretins, let me quote my friend Christopher Walken...

I definitely agree with this. I have no doubt that SOME of these stories are true. However, the ones I have dealt with are, for the most part, very respectful.

managers are also struggling to balance the demands of their employees for political engagement with their own sense of what’s appropriate for their brands.

Fire them.

[cgbg]

fire them

Be nice about it, though:

"It is clear that you have chosen to be a leftist political agitator. You need to find a career where your perspective is appreciated. This is not that place. Don't let the door hit you on the way out of here."

[Allegra]

Works for me. 👍

Birth years mid nineties to 2010

I have two genZ kids. Hard working long hours. both of them.

Respectful intelligent, kind and good with teams, usually leads the team.

Homeschooled. Makes a difference.

I think the powers that be want us at each others throats.

Fight amongst ourselves while globalist trash rob & destroy.

[Chickensoup]

I would not make their politics an issue in the firing.

The jerks may end up picketing or firebombing you. These kids play well with Antifa.

Cutbacks, covid, lack of parts, etc...

I work with mostly guys down to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and these guys are - nowadays -between 25 and 35 out in the pipelines - I find them very respectful and fun to work with - and hard core right wingers without exception

[BenLurkin]

Lay them off, instead.

Might as well have a reduction in force if you have employees who aren’t putting 100 percent.

The joy of a right ti work state is we can part ways without a reason.

[super7man]

Homeschooled. Makes a difference.

Bingo. We homeschooled for 13 years. Both our kids are very successful. Both still in their 30s. Very very hard working and both millionaires. And nice people too.

[Bobalu]

It’s good parenting that makes the difference..

Hat’s off to you FRiend!

[Chickensoup]

actually with the terminally lazy they will disappear if you press them too hard.

You know eight hour days, showing up every day, that stuff.

[DoodleBob]

To be sure, there ARE leftists who'd prefer that we not be here. Further, the vax and mask Karens aren't interested in détente.

That said, to your point...

[L,TOWM]

Been the game plan most of my life it appears...

[Kid Shelleen]

"period cramps" ???? - I am not up on my wokeness but that seems wrong???

[Carriage Hill]

MORE COW BELL!

[Fai Mao]

Except you do not have to shake that jar of ants. Ants will kill each other, even if they are the same type of ants. If they are from different nest they will fight

[DoodleBob]

I NEVER had a female co-worker EVER mentioned to me ANY bodily function, outside of puking.

This is perhaps the LAST such function I could envision them ever mentioning, LET ALONE making it a point of absence.

I don't doubt some women take off time when it's really unbearable.

But is this really happening or is it a NY Times false flag reporting?
