I definitely see this as “we can’t get away with the boys club anymore” rather than a problem with Gen Z. Gen Z won’t hide their unhappiness with any of the -isms and will call it out instead of just keeping their head down.

I read this as Gen Z doesn’t tolerate the boomer/older Gen X intolerant/racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic bullshit that younger Gen X/Older Millennials had to, and a lot of folks receiving this deserved pushback don’t like it.

I hate these generation based things. Some little time ago there was odd stuff about millennials everywhere. Now Gen-Z. In a few years Gen Alpha. Then whatever comes next and so on.

People just like to label people. And generations are just another option.

No, it's more that the boomers/older Gen X treats any sign of even polite disagreement as attacks on their very character. Many of them simply cannot accept that their views are outdated, and any challenges to their view is a disrespectful slight.

It's very telling that many of them still complain about millennials as children ruining everything to this day, when the oldest millennials are in their early 40s, and they are somehow shocked that Gen Z is even more progressive and vocal about their views than us millennials.

Look, I don't care at all what views my coworkers might possess. And that's the problem. Because when one of these fuckwits starts going on a bigoted rant at work, I do NOT want to hear it, and I surely don't give a damn about it. So yeah, no, we can't work alongside fuckwits. If they knew how to shut up, we could.

Honestly this isn't a gen z thing, it's just a shit article thing. 70% of this piece is just this one fucking guy bitching about the "kids these days"

Let me paraphrase: Gen Z refuse to take any bullshit from deluded boomers.

Welp, Gen Z, it's your time in the furnace I guess.

I remember when "Millennials are ruining everything" articles were the fodder for lazy writers, now it's crap like this.

We just reposting the same things from 10 years ago with “millennials” replaced by “gen z?”

I read that as "they voice their opinions too much".

The problem is that the things they “disagree” about are sometimes basic scientific facts, like climate change, or beliefs which strongly affect people’s lives negatively, such as racism, anti-lgbt bigotry, or economic views like “it’s just fine to pay people such low wages they can barely afford to live and will never be able to buy a house”.

Or maybe it's because they have zero patience for people who can't understand the idea of basic human rights?

Let me guess. The "different views" are bigotry, hatred and fascism?

I ain't gonna give any weight to a freaking anecdote from any one, let alone a manager. Show me the proof or sit down.

Some guy says some thing. This is no different from an out of touch boomer saying kids these days don't want to work.

I'm guessing someone got called out for being a right wing shit head and now his poor little feelings are hurt.

nah never had that issue and I'm pretty fuckin opinionated. As a chef I argue more with old heads than gen z or millennials.

old fuckers think they know everything

Gen Z seem to lack the skillset to know their place. -boomer boss

Interesting way of saying "they won't bend over and spread their arse cheeks".

Everyone in this thread is jumping to the conclusion that it's about politics, race, etc.

Meanwhile here's me wishing the office Zoomer would shut up about the way I drink my coffee.

Meanwhile said CEO is the one that intentionally promotes 'clueless' people (Read overtly offensive) people as leaders and then paints the workers that are coerced to humor them as in the wrong when they don't put up with it.

When the "disagreement" is that your nosy Boomer Karen coworkers mis-gender you or disapprove of the way you live your life or think it's NBD that by the time you're their age we're going to be in the "find out" phase of the biggest disaster to hit Earth's biosphere in 65 million years, the problem isn't really with Gen Z.

Yeah, I'll just say if I'm working, I just don't wanna hear politics brought up at all. I'd rather focus on work or maybe small talk. I don't wanna end up in a scenario where I expose my political views only to find I've made enemies with the wrong people in a company or group.
