A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This article is aloof and out of touch. The challenges facing Gen Z are obvious.

Pollak recommended that companies employ a method called "reverse mentoring," in which junior and senior employees meet regularly to discuss their perspectives on the workplace.

That mix could help increase workplace satisfaction and counter negative feelings younger workers have about their jobs. For instance, older employees are more likely to find their jobs enjoyable and fulfilling

No shit, older people have their housing, and also canard advice like "just show up". When Gen Z shows up with 60k in debt, outrageously obscenely unaffordable housing prospects, absurd healthcare costs, and inflation all stacked ontop, the issue is not with the generation but the disparity. "Reverse mentoring" will only infuriate them.

This is coming from a Xennial, who is still waiting for those "good times" to show up that the fucking idiot boomers got handed early on.
