Boss clearly isn't online much to see their content.
I've worked with Gen-Zers and have never seen this specific issue. Sounds like another example of a boss so removed from workers that their "insights" aren't based on experiences, but rather on that deadly combo of the tendency of older generations to negatively see generational changes, and that corporate group think where they try to justify not paying their workers their value.
It also sounds like a touch of the corporate group think where they forgot how much their employers had to teach them on the job, and how much they don't want to continue doing that.
Oh, I know this one!
There’s Nothing Wrong With Kids These Days
Kids! They’re lazy, narcissistic, and disrespectful — or so says the older generation. But when you look back through history, you’ll discover that older generations have been saying a version of the same thing for thousands of years. Our question is: Why? And we found an answer.
This seems to be a general societal problem rather than a generational problem. And yes, it's because of echo chambers.
When I was younger, people who were batshit crazy would have their craziest instincts checked by people around them. Now, they go online and find other batshit crazy people.
That evil, bad gen z. Even the b52's didn't like them or their channel before they were born https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAkyRc92utg
As someone in Gen Z, I agree. We're the first generation to grow up in a world where echo chambers are an established concept and a lot of people aren't aware of that.
I actively try to avoid echo chambers and general tribalism and I also try to always look at the matter at hand instead of the people involved, but I still find my debating skills sub-par. The only way to improve those is by practice, so let's hope that Gen Z is just a bit behind due to the pandemic.
