GoKawiilMaybe the kids are onto something. If there were ever a truth about generationalism, it’s this: Every generation has the same complaint about the generation that came after it. Kids these days don’t want to work. They want everything but don’t want to work hard enough to get it. They all want participation trophies. We’ve all heard some semblance of these accusations in some fashion or another. In fact, we’re all probably guilty of delivering our own version of these generation-dividing dispositions. However, if every generation says the same about the next, then, inherently, how true can these criticisms really be? Perhaps, instead of there being an impediment in the work ethic of today’s “kids,” maybe they’re actually noticing something we “adults” aren’t ready to admit.
What if it’s us who can learn something from Gen Z about work?
