9 out of 10 managers complain about one thing in particular about Gen Z employees

earthpressnews

Young people from Gen Z are currently entering the job market, but their popularity with bosses is sometimes poor.

What do the bosses complain about Generation (Gen) Z? According to a survey by the website intelligent.com of around 1,000 US company executives, one thing is particularly disturbing: the behavior of young people who belong to Gen Z. 9 out of 10 want people to complete 20 etiquette courses between start and finish.

What exactly is Gen Z? They are also called Zoomers and were born between 1996 and 2012. Before that come the Millennials or Generation Y from 1980. The baby boomers began their life in the post-war period. 1965 to 1979 is the birth period of Generation X. Anyone who first saw the light of day in 2012 or later belongs to Generation Alpha.

Dissatisfaction with Gen Z

How satisfied are respondents in general with Gen Z? Other meaningful results of the surveys include:

  • 75 percent are dissatisfied with those starting their careers
  • In 2024, 6 out of 10 have now laid off at least one or even all of their entry-level employees
  • When it comes to the reasons for their dissatisfaction, those surveyed mainly mention a lack of communication skills, a lack of professionalism, low initiative and motivation or difficulties in organizing themselves.
  • Although they are dissatisfied, around 80 percent will continue to employ college graduates in the coming year; only a few are ruling it out today.

    • Other surveys show similar tendencies, for example among around 800 managers from the USA, as we have written down for you here. Meanwhile, official figures from the USA paint a different picture of Gen Z – at least as far as a certain industry is concerned. We present to you a small part of the extensive officially collected data in this article.

    Our article also covers a survey from the UK on the same topic. However, he also goes into more detail about the social and economic circumstances that can explain some of the problems young people face: Generation Z is often late, wastes working time and is often absent due to mental problems, surveys show.
