Which gen had it worse? | We must find common ground in a multi-generational workforce

In an article on iNews, the publication interviewed Gen-Z workers and their bosses to find out what employers really think about this divisive generation.

Bosses told stories of Gen-Z employees spending company time scrolling through ‘X’ or engaging in hobbies, such as script writing, instead of carrying out business-related tasks. And when given feedback, Gen-Zers often can’t handle this criticism and become confrontational, the leaders contested.

This inability to take criticism in addition to this group’s need to take time off for mental illness, has given them the brand of being weak amongst many employers, with one CEO even saying this generation lacks resilience – but is this true?

Mental health issues have always been something faced by workers throughout every generation, however people are thankfully more willing to be open and speak about any issues they are going through.
