Speaker 1 (00:00):
My uncle says, I need to work harder. That's the
that's the answer, he says, I want you to just
work harder. That's old people's favorite thing to talk about,
how people younger than them don't work hard. You don't
work hard. Your generation has no work ethic. I worked
harder than you. Okay, I can beat you at Xbox. Yeah,
(00:23):
two things that don't matter. People did work harder than us.
You know why, because there wasn't anything else to do
back then.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
They used to fly kites.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's easy to be a hard worker when the alternative
is checkers.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But I got real distractions.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I got a cell phone, I got a computer, I
got video games.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They had yo yos.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Do you know how bored you have to be to
play with a yo yo? I'd rather work.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The jew will show.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Older generations always like to complain about the younger generations,
especially their work ethic. And there's a trend going viral
of hiring managers sharing the top expectations from gen Z
when it comes to getting a job. We'll go over
it right now, so you can either cheer on your
generation if you're gen Z, or shake your head at them,
like most people will be getting you know.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I'm very excited to rip Victoria part on this one.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Gen Z expect when it comes to getting a job,
the first top thing that they expect is unlimited paid
time off.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I guess that's one of the top requests from gen Z.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
That's accurate, Yeah, because we just want that life work balance,
work life balance.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You realize you work for a company that has to
make a profit, and if you just decide you want
to go do whatever you want and you still want
them to pay you, they will run out of money.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay, that's how things work. But time off is one thing,
but unlimited time off.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, But I will say I have friends who work
for a company Bey who they do get unlimited time off,
and it's crazy they don't take it, which surprises me.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
On psychology, Microsoft a lot of the micro stuff, because
the psychology is if we give you unlimited, you will
be grateful and you won't use it xact. The studies
show that when you say you're getting unlimited PTO, they
use less paid time off than they would have if
they had had the dates.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
But I don't know, because it's.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A psychological warfare. Meaning gen Z is a bunch of dummies.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
If they gave me unlimited time off, I would take
because you probably can't get fired for it. If they
say you get unlimited time off, find something else a
fire for right, I wouldn't be doing my job zero outpit.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But like, if you're not there, though, they are going
to notice that they did exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
They do say, like, as long as you get your
work done, you can take Like my friend took a
two week trip to Italy, Okay with his family.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
See I support that one hundred percent. As long as
you get your stuff done. That's always been my complaint,
Like when you work for a company, they expect you
to sit at a desk for eight hours when most
people's work can be done in like too, and then
you have to sit there for six hours pretending to work,
and it's monotonous and terrible.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
But the thing that kills me with this, though, is
that if you work as a part of a team
and you have other people that rely on you, and
you're supposed to be working together, and just one person
thinks that they can just take off all the time,
and then it falls on everybody else who can't take
the time because the job doesn't get done, and then
the money doesn't happen, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, but if you're stressed out about it, take a
day off. You got friend limited days. I'm not the
best working When it comes to stuff like that, you're like, man,
it sounds like you need a DAF. I just took
seventy and it was What else does gen Z want
when it comes to getting a job, regular recognition?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Whoa not like just regular you did a good job,
regular pats on the back. Sixty percent of gen Z
employees ask if they get regular recognition for what they've done.
Is this thing it comes to asking for a job.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Is this because they got so much growing up from
their parents or because they didn't get any.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
No, their parents are gen X, they got zero. Their
parents were playing Nintendo sixty four, not telling them. Good job, girl,
they need it. You don't need it from your boss,
Get it from your friends, get it from yourself.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
We want to know we're doing good at work.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I like to know that too.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, that we're being pret doesn't say you want to
also know when you need to do better. I just
said I wanted you to tell me I did a
good job all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Please, it's the gen Z equivalent of the Millennial Participation Trophy. Yeah,
so fun.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
There's a trend of hiring managers sharing the top requests
from gen Z. When it comes to looking for a
job remote work, gen Zers want to work remote. Sixty
five percent of gen Zers say they will not take
a job unless it's hybrid or completely remote.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
The don't actually blame them for this because by the
time most of them started to enter into the workforce,
it was kind of COVID time, so like everybody rid,
so everybody was working from home and it was hybrid.
They don't know any better. They just don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Also, you don't how much traffic we got going out here.
That's an hour of wasted work, sir. We're not could
be working for you, for the man, for the company.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I think it's an incredibly incredibly privileged take so Victoria.
When you go to the gas station and you go
inside the gas station and you get a pack of gum,
What if that person behind the counter was working remote?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Well, they can't work remote.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh they can't. You're so special that you're going to
get a job in what marketing? How many marketers do
we need? Somebody's got to be a barista, somebody's got
to flip the burgers.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
We can't all be a remote it's a privileged Take
another top request from hiring when it comes to hiring
gen Z. This is according to hiring managers, who is
a trend of them sharing on social media. The top
requests from gen Z workers and questions about the company
that they're hiring for is gen Z. Most of them
prefer a company that doesn't have any sort of h
(05:57):
higherarchical structure. So no bosses.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Is okay.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I will take the job if it's remote and I
get unlimited pay and nobody's buying boss Is there gonna
be people telling me what to do for work?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because no, there's gonna be a crisis of unemployment at
some point here, and it's gonna be gen Z's fault. Because,
by the way, many companies have tried that. Zappos tried
that no bosses. They did try that really fell apart
in under ninety days. The whole thing fell apart because
I guess even do that, guess what we found out.
Nobody cares about the work right there, somebody to say,
(06:42):
here's what we got to focus on. Yeah, I had
people out there doing weird projects that nobody asked them
to do, and the company was just blowing money. They
under ninety days. They were like, we gotta fix it.
We're going under.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm a person that has a big problem with authority.
You always have, right, have very been very defiant with authority.
I don't like authority, authority type structures, none of it. Yes,
but I also know that I need a boss. Right,
You're not gonna get anything from me I need. I
need to be held accountable. I do understand that. Also,
(07:15):
I don't like them for holding me accountable, but I
know the only way they're going to get anything out
of me. Yeah,
My uncle says, I need to work harder. That's the
