Lets face it, for many young adults that are entering the work force in today’s day and age are not adjusting or submitting to the already existing work culture that has been there since the millennial generation took over.

The idea of working hard for one company, dedication to the same bosses and big name brand, and showing loyalty have disappeared in the new generation. The idea that you’re part of a family at work, or that the experience that you have that feels like you’re being exploited for your hours and effort, or the minimal pay with a promise that you will get raises the longer you stay with the company.

Those are all promises and examples of the work culture that existed for older generations that has been rejected by Gen Z workers as they enter the work force. The idea that workers can be exploited for their hours, that empty promises of raises and promotions just ring hollow for the newer generation.

This may be because of the change and different world that new workers face when they graduate from university. For older workers still in the work force, a lot of them have homes, and families to go home to. Hobbies and passions that they are able to spend time on because they came from an era that allowed them to save money and build financial freedom.

That doesn’t exist anymore for the younger, fresher workers that are seeking employment. For a lot of the new workers that are graduating now and trying to find a job, the first rude awakening is that there are no jobs available. That the cost of living has skyrocketed, that the wage that they start with is not enough to start saving to build for their future.

This has led to Gen Z workers job hopping, and starting a culture of their own in the workplace. One where they take more for themselves and not think about the loyalty that they have to have to an enterprise. They aren’t afraid to look for new employment if the pay is better and the benefits are better.

This doesn’t mean that Gen Z workers are lazy or don’t want to work, instead they have created a culture to support them selves in any way that they see fit, and to share how they’ve found that on social media to potentially help other people going through the same things that they have.

It’s not that they want to destroy the culture of the workplace as many people already see fit, but instead that they want to see it evolve, and help as the world changes around them every single day.
