On #GenZ work culture - as you are making choices, others, including organizations are making choices too. For every action there is a reaction. So as you are doing you, please respect other people's right to do them too. Namaste. 🙏🏾

That said, kindness and respect are human values. They are non-negotiable at work and at home. So are hardwork, commitment, discipline and responsibility.

I think the problem in many workplaces is communication and understanding. Set clear expectations. If you need to shift the goal post in the event of business emergencies, don't take the sacrifice for granted or assume it. Ask.

Also be aware that each generation has shifting priorities. Some value money. Others value time, family, meaning or appreciation. HR has changed. You need to know what motivates people if you want an effective team. One size doesn't fit all.

Finally, from a personal perspective, it is very important for Gen Z to build real relationships and real family OUTSIDE work. Don't assume every boss wants to be a mentor or parent figure. Each boss is unique too, just as each staff is unique.

As an additional thought - the capacity for multiple streams of income is a privilege. Entrepreneurship is not a mass ability. Making digital money is a skill. The choice to fall back on family shelter, food and resources is uncommon in poor country.

Those who stay in uncomfortable work environments should never be ridiculed. They are not fools. They are biding their time and doing what they must until they can have what they prefer. They CHOOSE not to give it to their employers as e dey hot.

Others want the work experience or the skills they are currently learning. And they have the mental fortitude to deal with the challenges. Others may not and choose to move on. That is okay. Everyone has a right to their journey and health.
