#6 - Are Gen Z Really Annoying Coworkers?

Are Gen Z really the most annoying co-workers—or are they just rewriting the rules of work? In this punchy episode of From X to Z, Danielle Farage and Mervyn Dinnen unpack a viral article that paints Gen Z as workplace troublemakers and ask the bigger question: what’s actually behind the label? With Mervyn’s Gen X lens and Danielle’s insider perspective on younger generations, they explore the real friction points—like shifting expectations around purpose, feedback, boundaries, and what it means to grow in your career. Is “annoying” just a stand-in for “different”? And are these differences a threat to workplace culture—or the key to evolving it? This conversation cuts through the noise to reveal what’s really going on across generational lines—and why it matters for every organization. Learn more about your ad choices.
