Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you love your job it's the jubile show. Or
are you like most of Americans and you barely tolerate
your job because well food and shelter.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
A new survey ask today's workforce about the non negotiable
perks that they're looking for in a job, and it
will confirm that gen Z has a whole different outlook
on work the generations before.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It is just getting paid.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
What's ultimately, if you work, you get paid.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
That's not a perk.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
That Yeah, that's the deal you make.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
Victoria. You give me time, I give you money. That's
the end of the equation.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It should be anyway. Well, and by the way, Victoria
is gen Z.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So this is your generation, Victoria that did this survey
about the non negotiables when it comes to work for them.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I mean, I want to know that you want me
as much as I want to work for you.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Get over it.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, you should just know that unless you own the company,
you're expendable.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's just kind of how it works. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Here are the non negotiables that gen Z has when
it comes to work. According to this new survey, an
office plant budget at least a free succulent stop forty
four percent of gen Z forty four said that that
is a non negotiable for them.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 4 (01:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Unemployment?

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Wait, we need some kind of freshness in the office
to go outside.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
We all have time.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
We're working on that already.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Gen Z is taking their time bathroom break.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Need to go literally an office plant budget or at
least or at least a free succulent. Now am I
supposed to sit at my desk without a succulent? And
also I don't want to pay for the succulent? This
is like, yeah, they are very cheap. You can get
a little succulent plant very cheap. How does that make
you more efficient? I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's a gesture and it's probably here to steal your money.
What are you talking about it?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
And take the space.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
And they probably puts succulent in their own purpose because
the succulent is a plant that you don't have to
care for much, you know what I mean, like the
water and stuff, because they're never going to be at
their desk anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Something is a new survey out.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
And this is generate gen Z's non negotiables when it
comes to work. That's a non negotiable for forty four
percent of the people in this survey flexible work hours
as long as work is done by midnight on Sundays
forty nine percent.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
That is a non negotiable for of gen.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Z flexible flexible work hours as long as work is
done by midnight on Sundays. I actually don't have too
much of a problem with that. I always felt like,
if you're getting your job done, then cool. If things
are done on time or you're doing a good job,
I absolutely agree with flexible work hours. Some people need
the structure of having to be in an office to
get their stuff done. But if you can get it
done and you actually get it done, great.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
Yeah, if you have poor time management you just need
all that extra time, then that's fine.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Well I will say just this, and this might sound
out of character for me, what I would want to
do for my gen z ors is protect them a
little bit, because when you have flexible work hours that
you take up as much space as you need to
and it actually becomes unhealthy. You end up working like
sixteen seven hours a day on accident because you didn't
do the other thing. So you got to really, if

(03:16):
you're getting that perk, you got to make sure you
take care of yourself and time block yourself, because you'll
your mental health will dive.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Isn't that what companies want? Yes, your mental health to dive.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, and that's still work sixteen hours a day anyway.
So I think most companies really don't care about the
mental health.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
They have programs now for it's good, but they only
do that because of pressure from the outside because they
know that they have to.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Part of the benefits package.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
And it's some random company like, hey, can you handle
their mental health everything?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
We're going to be destroying it?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Can you fix the exactly? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Can you fix these broken people that we have broken
beyond repair? And also stop coming out with all that
research on stress and how it kills.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's killing our budget, that's what it's doing.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Another non negotiable when it comes to work for gen
D unlimited personal time off and with encouraged guilt free
usage eighty six percent. That does a non negligible for them.
I like guilt for usage, Yes, that is true, Like
you shouldn't feel guilty for having to take it off
unless you're taking advantage of it.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
You know, millennials started this this unlimited PTO thing. We
started this, and the studies showed we never used it.
Gen Z is going, well, hold my beer, I will
use every ounce of this unlimited gto.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Yeah, there is baad, So I think there's extremes. But
I think that being able to take paid time off
and to be able to have time to yourself is
super valuable. It makes you a better worker. But I
don't know about the succulents. But everything else a tense.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Now that you're stuck on the succulents.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Yeah, I just don't get it, Like that's wild. You
could ask for anything. You ask for a succulent.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
What's crazy is having to earn your vacation, right like
you you just should have vacation. Yeah, I don't think
one point six days earned each month. You're like, bro,
I'm gonna take vacation if anything.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
You don't have a full week yet because you haven't
worked for six months straight out of the game.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's weird.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Here's another non negotiable for today's workforce. Gen Zers want
fun rooms with games like ping pong and other recreational activities,
and the office needs to be pet friendly thirty four percent.
That's a non negotiable force and they won't take a
job unless it's pet friendly and they have a fun
room with games in ping pong.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
It's it's like.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
A mind release.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's helping me relax.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
I can go, I'll work for thirty minutes, I'll go
play a little one game of ping pong, and I'll
come back and do.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
The rest of my work. Why is that you be
asking for free snacks?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why do you do stuff, okay, unlimited snacks that aren't
just pretzels and granola bars. Seventy two percent of gen
z or said that that is a negotiable. Yeah, yeah,
I mean, I mean Gabby our social media producer who's
not here today gen Z But the other day she
made a comment about how she would be in the

(05:58):
office longer if they had free lunch.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
She literally did, and I'm sure she's listening to us
right now. But she also was like, why don't they
have salt and pepper here, which is actually valid?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
That's valid, that is valid.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Well, and then they went and got it because she
told somebody, so thank you for doing that for the people.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
I will say whenever we get an email saying we'll
get free lunch, like it's just coming later.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Me and Gabby purposely will just like sit here and wait.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
True, I've never seen them work longer than when there's
lunch provided.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I'm just not trying to stay here all day.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm expensive out there, man.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I mean, I'm with gen Z on the not having
to work as much thing. You know, was just honest
about it.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
But yeah, exactly, smarter, not harder.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And I don't want a fun room at the office, No, no,
I just wanted to be.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like, go home to your fun room. Yeah, yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't want it enough to have a fun room
in my house. I need one here. We can collectively on.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
A second jump like the rest of us.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yourself, who
