Gen Z Labeled Lazy

[Jayson]

If you look on the net, there are so many stories about lazy gen Z, but I don't know what to believe. Well, the consensus is they're lazy, unpunctual, entitled, and oversensitive. Is this true, or this just obnoxious bullies lashing out at another target?

Gen Z is often labeled lazy, but I believe they give impprtance to mental health, flexibility, and meaningful work over hustle. I think they work smart, not just hard. Do you think this label is fair?

I suppose a balance is in order. I know, myself, that I can't go to jobs demanding things, but maybe after making a good impression, I can negotiate for more humane conditions. Does that sound about reasonable?

Yes, that sounds entirely reasonable and actually quite wise. Leading with a good impression shows you are committed, capable, and cooperative, which builds trust. Once you have’l demonstrated your value, it becomes much easier to have meaningful conversations about better conditions or accommodations.
