Better known as Gen Z, this generation was born between 1997 and 2012. They began entering the workforce around 2020. ① Having grown up amid the Great Recession and the pandemic, they are cynical and it is coloring their view of work. ② Perhaps, the most telling trend to date is conscious unbossing or the practice of avoiding management roles. ③ Since these young workers have a strong desire to supervise others, they are eager to work hard to get promoted. ④ More than half of Gen Z workers surveyed by a research team said they don’t want to be managers. Clearly, Gen Z workers are shunning traditional career paths and norms that society has accepted for ages.
