Presumably they believe they could get a job where they don’t have to go into the office every day, which is what they’d prefer. Nothing wrong with them thinking about switching to something they expect would suit them better.
These sh!ts don’t know how to wait on people as cashiers.
They are used to sitting at home and working maybe 30 minutes a day and getting paid for 8 hours.
I don’t like working from home. The fridge is there.
It is going to be interesting when the recession hits next year.
you’re right of course—my story of my 3 Gen z is obviously anecdotal. We’ll have to see how things unfold over the next few years. I really like hybrid—the best of both worlds. I myself go in to the office now once a week and 4 of my 9 team members have opted to go in 1-2 times a week. We enjoy our one on one in person meetings again. balance. I also like going into the city again. I’m Gen X and an introvert but it was getting a bit monotonous working 5 days a week from home (though I love it). Commuting to the city once a week breaks up the monotony….also some of my staff report too much chaos and not enough quiet/room in their homes.
They can stay home, not inter act, not collaborate, not mentor, etc. But that’s it, don’t look for a promotion or growth.
Solid plan. 😃
If you spent the two years prior to covid sitting in an office working maybe 30 minutes a day and then trying to look busy for the other seven and a half hours, hating the commute, the office politics, and the lack of flexibility, doing it from home for two years is certainly a big thing to give up. Of course, some people in those jobs are about thirty minutes of real work per day away from having nothing to do and no reason to draw a paycheck (and their managers are necessarily in the same boat if their job is to supervise those thirty minutes worth of work).
The nature of business is changing, has changed, and it's not going back to what it was like in 2019... nor should it. Some industries will see all the corporate office space they don't actually need and cut it to save money. Some industries will see all the excess employees they're paying and cut them to save money. Some employers will realize that remote work means they don't have to pay local wage rates to attract candidates and the offshoring of the late 1990's is going to start back up again. The people living inside that silicon valley tech bubble are going to be hit hard.
Ya know... sometimes a person just needs a hard Will Smith slap. Spoiled children must grow up sometime. I`ve been reading about these Gen Z women quitting their cashier jobs because their employer won`t let their boyfriends hang out with them all day at work. WTH!
I have no idea where these kids, perpetual life-long children, get their money or how they get by in general. At some point reality is going to hit them hard. If only their parents did it early enough to slap the lazy spoiled brat out of them early in life.
I always avoided working from home. If something truly had to be done after hours, I’d go to the office, or out to the site, or whatever. I saw too many people working at home whose supervisors would feel free to call them at any hour of any day with some “really important” thing that had to be done right then.
I’m Gen X and I don’t want to go back either. I’m a Software Architect and there is no reason I need to be in an office. I work more now because I’m not driving back and forth each day. I can wake up, eat, and get to work immediately. Would I quit if I had to go back? Probably not. Luckily, my company is not run by morons that force the issue.
The paradigm is shifting to everything online. Learn to code. It’s good money.
Which is 3/4 of them.
It's been a long time since employees could interact with each other without fear of having it all end with a false accusation. The "woke" workplace is not only counter-productive, it's a huge liability.
So are they all going on the dole? How will they make money? Are there enough remote work jobs for all of them?
I’ve told every recruiter who has contacted me, I am available for 100% remote jobs only.
I’m not going back to the office. A lot of my colleagues feel the same way. Oh, and I’m Gen X, not Z.
I see lots of excuses for people to sit at home and NOT have to really work at their job. I get it. Two years of goofing off with pay would make most people want to keep it going.
Better get used to having to work again. The companies aren’t going to keep subsidizing video gaming on the company dime.
The Sales Ops Department at the last company I worked for before I retired was adjacent to the HR Department. Those were the laziest, loudest, party crown I’ve ever seen and made it almost impossible for those of us serious about running the business to get anything done. It was a real challenge to complain to HR about HR itself. No profanity problem, but I think this was even worse.
What you’ll get are those who have no options will be forced to return to the office. Those who do have options will not.
So if you’re a company, yes you can get people to return to the office. Its just that you will lose many of your best employees and you won’t be able to hire the ones you really want. You’ll be stuck with the ones who have little if any experience and/or the ones who are not very good at their jobs.
Humans are lazy. We needed "the man" at the office to keep us in line.
