Are Gen Z (early twenties and below) lazy and short on grit? Perhaps not:
- They may want to see purpose in their work. If they are asked to make more plastic, they may not want to make more plastic.
- Grit is relative; many of us would have noticed our gramps are/were in a different grit league compared to us.
- Families are smaller now, so Gen Zs may have less chances of big family dynamics, giving rise to a different work dynamic.
- It could also be perspective. The YouTube vids that we have come across by Gen Zs are spirited, substantial and diligent.
- Try to adapt to Gen Z and bring them up, they have a very heavy responsibility to carry on in a challenging world. As reflected by Gen Z vocalist Lucy Thomas in a cover of Desperado.
