You can almost hear the sigh whenever someone brings up "Gen Z." They're often labelled as entitled, overly sensitive, or accused of not appreciating how tough it was back in the day. But honestly, that mindset is tired and not doing anyone any favours.
By 2030, Millennials and Gen Z will make up three-quarters of the workforce. Research shows they're already starting more businesses than Boomers.
As a 35-year-old Millennial who, until recently, was the one looked down upon and labelled as part of the "lazy generation", I know how it feels to be dismissed. I like to think I'm not that old, but the office lingo has a way of reminding me otherwise. The first time someone dropped the word " rizz " in a meeting, I realised I'd officially crossed into "wait... what does that even mean?"
