Video summary
The video explores the evolving dynamics between Generation Z and the modern workplace, highlighting a significant shift from traditional formalities to a focus on purpose and efficiency. Unlike previous generations who might have stayed in an office simply to fulfill attendance requirements or accumulate overtime hours, Gen Z employees question the value of being present without contributing meaningful work. They reject the old definition of "working hard" as merely sitting at a desk for long hours, preferring instead to engage in tasks they are interested in and that offer tangible benefits. This generational difference extends to workplace culture, where Gen Z is less tolerant of unproductive time and more likely to resign if they feel their mental well-being is compromised by excessive workload or lack of appreciation, often relying on family support systems that allow them the freedom to make such decisions without immediate financial ruin.
A major point of contention discussed is the clash between Gen Z's casual approach to professional norms and employer expectations regarding communication and punctuality. While recruiters still prioritize degrees and formal presentation for entry-level roles, once employed, Gen Z workers are criticized for poor communication skills, such as failing to notify employers about traffic delays or showing up late without prior explanation. The conversation also addresses the rise of "side hustles," where employees run secondary businesses alongside their primary jobs; while this can be seen as a sign of hard work and innovation, it becomes a threat if it involves poaching clients from the employer's organization. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the influence of social media, which creates unrealistic expectations and peer pressure among young workers who may feel demotivated by high living costs or the illusion of wealth displayed online, leading some to undervalue traditional education and stable employment in favor of immediate gratification or content creation.
To bridge the gap between generations, the dialogue suggests that a successful workplace must blend the strict, goal-oriented strategies of Millennials with the innovative, risk-taking spirit of Gen Z. The ideal boss for a Gen Z employee is described as someone who fosters an open, relaxed environment where employees feel safe to speak freely without feeling like they are still in high school. Employers are advised to stop generalizing entire generations based on stereotypes and instead focus on individual performance metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) when discussing salaries and promotions. Ultimately, the consensus is that while Gen Z brings creativity and a desire for work-life balance, they must also cultivate respect, maintain professional presentation, and continuously upskill to adapt to rapid technological changes like AI, ensuring they remain competitive in an increasingly crowded job market.

We even don't know why we were there.
>> Mhm.
>> Like we were just there
>> just for the formality
>> just because now we have to be assessed.
>> They we have to we have we need that log
book. We need that report. It's needed
in the school.
>> But basically like I don't even
understand why why like I was just
there.
>> Mhm.
>> Take
>> sit file this seat. But now you have to
be there. Actually it was 8 to 5.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah. So,
>> so now they're preferring maybe to go
with what they are interested to do
rather than to do the formal the form to
go with the formality.
>> No, no, no, no, no. I think we're just
questioning how the things are done.
>> Uh-huh.
>> It's just we are just questioning how we
are doing this. As much as the employers
benefiting,
>> we also need to benefit from it. Like we
just can't waste
>> a whole day.
>> You can't just sit doing nothing.
>> Just sit doing nothing. You know Kambbo.
>> Mhm. In Octamboo they used to term as
working hard
>> is working for many hours
>> like you being in in the office from 8
to 5 and then even extending even having
an overtime.
>> I think they considered it as
>> but in real sense no like you can just
be there and you're doing nothing
>> and
that's true like why are you there?
>> Mhm.
>> So just I think we just questioning how
things are just being done. M
>> and I think another thing is they're
going with appreciation is equals to
what amount of work I'm doing not really
overdoing it then the appreciation that
I'm getting is not comp not enough
compared to what I'm doing
>> I think there's a way to put it
>> maybe now talk about like
um that is a child you've interacted
with some of these candid maybe people
coming in they want jobs and all that
But what the what are the recruiters now
looking for before even they hire a Gen
Z and say okay we are going to take this
Gen Z as our next maybe talent so that
you can you can develop me or
>> what are the recruiters looking for
first we need to first recruiters have
to see like you have to go to school
>> first you have to you have to have that
degree that diploma so of course
education is key
>> and then how they see how you present
yourself
>> matters a lot.
>> Mhm.
You've not seen Jenz coming to
interviews with sweat pants you
>> like serious interviews.
>> Yeah,
>> they just show up. I mean
>> I've seen I've seen a clip where I got
there
>> actually she she was doing some
interviews then there was a guy who came
just dressed casually.
>> Yeah.
>> And he was thrown out of the office.
Nana this is not how you dress when you
go for interview. But why do you think
Jenz's are so free to do what they what
they like? We've seen just yesterday, I
think a week ago or so, this clip of
this lady was complaining about Jenz
going to town with just their pants with
the croc. But what do you why do you
think Jen's are so free with doing
anything they like?
>> But I mean if you're coming to town
>> but like
this these other generations sit always
a very big place to come.
>> Do you know back then it was really
>> Yeah. during their time it was but now
as we can access the any time
>> so like you can just show up but in
terms of in terms of interviews
>> Mhm. I don't think you can just show up.
But even it's not even it's not even
only I've seen even people come to the
interviews
>> they even show up even without their
documents
>> and then you're like
>> really
>> yeah where your certificates they're
like
>> look
I mean it's not it's not it's not even
>> they just see everything as cash.
>> Yeah. Every I mean it's how you brought
up actually it's it's how you brought
up. So some things
it's just how you brought up.
>> Mhm. Yeah.
>> Okay. Let me get to the comment section
before
the conversation. Of course, we ask you
about what do you think is dumb or
should you shouldn't do. So, comments.
Let me see what people are saying. We
have
Thank you so much. Then another one is
Master
Farming. It's a corn is a corn gardens.
Then we have Alibaba, Ezra Moist Bridge.
Then Sam you thinking and any idea is
dumb
on the views of the Jenzi. Then you have
Fidel Bridge watching then Sah. Thanks
for the update. Okay, then we have
now get it back to the conversation. I
think we are talking about how Jenzi are
very casual even in workplaces even even
when they're conducting themselves out
there they very casual we have seen um I
think they have adopted in a way that
they have seen what millennials used to
do then maybe it failed
>> I cannot go to the cannot go with the
same path I want to try something
different do you think that's something
unique about Jenz Amina create that type
of stubbornness
>> no I think it's something unique I mean
we are just learning from Mr. mistakes.
>> So if the mistakes like just the way we
say just the way our parents tell tell
us like the mistakes that they did they
wouldn't love us to do. So like the
mistakes that other generations have
done
>> and we've seen what
>> what the consequences have been would
not love doing. So like we're just
trying to learn from the other
generations.
>> Yeah. Now maybe now getting back to the
point that you were talking about now
genes what rec recruiters need from
genesis before they even employ them.
Now I just want to get to know after
employment now what are the genesis
demanding in the workplaces that
millennials did not really demand back
then maybe they saying
what are some of the demands that
microwave
>> uh I think it's just the normal demands
like
>> they just need to be had the the
communications agencies are so not okay
I won't generalize it but Most of them
are terrible with communication.
>> Mhm.
>> Like they can like they know they're in
traffic.
>> Mhm.
>> They know they'll show up late.
>> Mhm.
>> But they won't they won't tell you.
They'll just show up at 10:00.
>> Mhm.
>> And just when you question them, they'll
be like, "But there was traffic.
>> I mean, I live in Tika."
>> You need to understand.
>> You need to understand there was
traffic. I live in Thika. But the
communication like they they didn't they
don't communicate prior.
>> Yeah. They just come to explain when
they are there. And that's something
that most of the employers are
questioning.
>> Mhm.
>> And in terms of that now, everyone now
thinks jenzes.
>> Mhm.
>> Can't communicate. All jenzies are the
same.
>> Again, when it comes to if they they
find themselves in a workplace and
they're not comfortable,
>> you know, they can just resign anytime.
Me, I don't know how people operate.
You can just wake up and just say, "Hey,
>> let's
just be like, why didn't you show up to
work?"
>> Mhm.
>> I mean,
>> what do you what do you expect me to do?
>> But why do you think they they can they
have that type of guts even to do it?
Because let's say you just wake up and
say, "Okay, I'm quitting my job."
Then you're quitting your job, but you
don't have maybe a next plan to do it.
What do why do you think they have such
guts?
>> Me I think most of the genesis that do
that
>> they they live with their families
>> mostly and most of them are well off
like they are funded by from from their
families.
>> So like if they quit I mean they're not
paying rent they're not paying any bills
they just okay
>> I mean they were just doing you a favor
to be there. So
>> that's what they say. M
>> so if I mean they say they cannot like
like that's their peace of mind like you
won't torture them and they can still go
home
>> back to their parents and
>> and I wish
>> and they have been leave even before
you. Oh,
>> that's what they say.
>> Maybe maybe I I saw a clip where someone
was complaining about you went to a job
interview and then um job interview
panel I think a panel about eight or six
people just interviewing him. So the
question that he was putting up was
about 30,000.
>> Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I saw that. I
saw that. I saw that the person was
saying
So what do you think baby when you talk
about respect in workplaces when you
talk about how you should conduct
yourself in workplaces compared to what
you normally used to maybe when your
boss told you to to to do something I
say okay then your boss told you this
what you are going to pay you thank you
so much sir but right now you you get to
a point where you can even question
about my salary why are you not paying
me this amount of money.
Why have we how have we gotten to that
point?
>> No, I think it's just it's it's just how
how things are like I mean
>> if I came to the organizations you guys
hired me and told me my salary is 30,000
>> and then on the way
>> someone maybe leaves the organization
>> and all the responsibilities that they
were doing they assigned to me.
>> Now how am I not questioning that? Mhm.
>> I mean, so I work with the same salary
but extra duties.
>> No, that one can't happen.
>> I mean, it's not in my GD.
>> So, I have to question that.
>> But you know, you see now the older
generations now used to term is they
term it as
>> they lose their work.
>> Mhm.
>> They can't question. Maybe they'll be in
bad books with their bosses.
>> But you know, a reality is a reality.
>> So if you're assigning me more duties
>> Mhm.
>> then they come with a salary increment.
Mhm.
>> If not so then you just hire someone
else
>> to do the job
pointing on that let's talk about what
uh maybe when you are you are employed
what you expected to do then let's say
in a scenario where uh you have given a
phone maybe a work phone
>> then of course your normal hours is 9 to
9 to5 it's past 5 then the the phone
already it's ringing that you should
should you pick the after calls after
you've done your Should
you pick it
or is it not being enough?
>> No, I think it depends with the nature
of business. I mean, if you guys operate
mostly and you have clients calling,
>> I would pick for me I would pick.
>> Mhm.
>> But if calls if it's just past 5 and I'm
still in the office and then the phone
is ringing, I mean, why would I not
pick? I mean, it's business,
>> but now I can't be picking calls at 11
Mhm. p.m. at 1000 p.m.
>> Now that one you now now you have to
hire me out to work.
>> That's a night shift.
>> But depends with the nature of business
as well. Like if you guys are operating
that way, I think
>> I mean why not?
>> Mhm. Now I've been to places where the
nature of business doesn't really apply
where we say okay we are closing at 5.
But normally you don't they don't close
at 5 cuz if a client calls, you must
pick the call. You must engage the
clients. Then you must even respond to
them even what they need. You must you
must follow up on what they need. But
you think that is exploitation maybe to
the to the worker.
>> Mhm.
>> You are not even being compensated for
>> working over time. Yeah.
>> Mhm.
>> I think I think let's just I mean if you
if you signed up for 9 to5
>> just stick to the 9 to5. But if you're
willing to to continue and be there I
mean let it be that's willing to do
that.
>> Yeah. Because I mean
>> you if you choose to do it and you're
doing it willingly I mean now that's
that's up to you. But if you choose to
be 9 to5 then just let it be 9 to5 even
the employer knows it's 9 to5.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> Now Jenzi now they have they've taken
another culture apart from that now they
have taken another culture called the
side hustle.
>> It's still workplace but you still have
you're running by business on the on the
side. So as an employer as an HR or
people as a person of inter interacted
with some of these employers do you
think uh and the employers take that as
a threat or really they they take it as
a something to even to brag about say
okay my my my employee does this on the
side which is really good something good
to see at least it's what he or she is
hard working so did they take as a
threat or something even good
>> if if what you're doing
>> and your your job.
>> Mhm.
>> It's if it's if what you're doing is not
affecting your job.
>> Let's say let's say uh maybe you're in
um let's say uh let's say a graphic
let's say a graphic design company
>> then on the side you are doing the
printing type of job.
>> Like you are doing it's like correlating
on what you're doing on the on what
you're doing on your job and what you're
doing on the side as well.
>> But are you poaching clients?
>> Maybe you're poaching from the from the
from the from the business from the
business itself. I mean now if you're
pushing clients I mean that one now
would be a threat to the business.
>> Now what's the best how can I challenge
that in that scenario? a scenario where
I mean
>> uh you just call the employee now if now
you're aware that the employee is doing
that I think you can just sit down and
have a conversation with the employee if
they are just willing to continue
working for you
>> or you should just let them go because I
mean if they approaching the clients and
if the businesses are related
>> I mean that's a threat to the
organization honestly.
>> Yeah. Now let's say back now to to side
hustle type of business. What do you
think the best way for agency to operate
a side hustle still operating in a
company doing the work? Do you think the
concentration should is still there or
should it's split between what I'm doing
on the side and also what I'm what I'm
offering on my job.
>> Mhm. M now if if maybe you're working
from let's say you're doing a 9 to5 and
then you have a side business
>> and I mean most most of the people that
work 9 to5 trust me they finish even
work before 5.
>> Mhm.
>> Like by the time you're going for lunch
>> some people are already done in their
work. I mean if you can manage that
>> then you can still be you can still have
time to with your other job.
>> I mean if if you sure you can balance
both.
If you can balance both, I think I mean
it's a good and I've seen a trend online
that says that
9 to 5
is broke.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's just
>> But do you think that's an assumption of
the past really? Do you think people are
even enjoying the 9 to5 type of job?
They are even getting a good life from 9
to5. I mean if you if you have a good
employer
>> and if you have a good manager 9 to5 is
good.
>> Now it becomes a problem when
the work they're working there.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Now talking about a work overload
that's a good point by the way talking
about work overload. Maybe you have seen
even there was a graphic where even a
data analysis where they're saying a lot
of Jenz's right now in Kenya they are
suffering from mental uh mental health
because of work overload and also
working for more than like they're
working a lot working for just training
in work just to simplify straining in
work and also getting the mental illness
do you think is something should like
should be really checked on
>> I think I think most people are really
struggling dealing with that mental
mental health and
>> that's why you hear many Jenz say me I
just woke up and quit because it's not
well my mental health
>> so yeah I think it's something that
should really be addressed
>> it's something that and it cuts across
>> now as an HR maybe you're in a company
you're in a company
the amount of work that I'm doing really
is affecting me mentally so what's the
best way to approach it do you say what
I complain keep doing your work or do
you say, "Okay, take a break. Don't do
this." Or do do you report it to the
manager and say, "Would
him out?"
>> No, no, no, no. I mean, if if it's if
it's really draining you,
>> I think it's just best you take a break.
>> Mhm.
>> If it's if but if it's not something
that maybe it's urgent, has maybe
deadlines.
>> I mean, you can just always take a
break.
Mhm.
>> And that's why that's why in many
organizations we have that break of 1 to
two.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah. And it's it's very good actually.
>> Like you see most people you find most
people seated 1 to two they are still
working. I mean just take just take that
break. I mean you'll be back at 2 to 5.
So I think taking those breaks is also
healthy.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
And do you think maybe even taking
longer breaks can help like giving them
maybe a two week leave even a one week
leave just to clear the mind of
>> but you know but you know everyone is
entitled a leave right
>> in the employment act so you can just
ask them to take a leave
>> I mean it's it's part of their rights
>> you can ask them to take a leave.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> Now let's talk about a company that's
working with a lot of jenzies. You have
seen some some implementing the way that
the culture of Jenzi where okay you're
going to do what you like you're going
to to carry this company the way you
want you want to cuz you have seen let's
say in your company you're the HR or azi
then maybe a person below you as a jenzi
also maybe even 10 or so in a company so
you working together do you think the
company will thrive or will go down
because I think a lot of people
associate jenz as more innovative and
others associate jenzi as more lazy
Mhm.
>> So far, what do you think? What's the
best way? Do you think you should employ
more people, more Gen Z or employ more
experienced people, let's say
millennials?
>> I think I think I think you should just
mix them up.
>> Mhm.
>> Do you think they work together? Really?
>> They can work.
>> I They can They can actually work.
>> They can actually collaborate so well
because millennials are strict.
>> Mhm.
>> Genzes are very genesis are very
innovative.
>> Mhm. And when it comes to things like
ideas,
>> they really have crazy ideas and the
millennials can put them in line.
>> So yeah, I think they can really
>> collaborate so well.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> And work maybe what's the bridge between
these two generation cuz that's the
thing that have been talked about. Where
do how do you think they can correlate
because one generation is more uh more
goal oriented than the other generation
is more of innovative and do let's say a
risk taker want to do something
different want to try and do we're
saying now this there's a gap here let's
do it in this certain way let's take a
risk so that you can achieve the goal
but the other one as a strategy we we
are supposed to do this and this and
this so that you can get the goal so how
can you make these two generation work
together
>> I I mean you see
>> I think in every organization
>> we have the rules and how work operates.
>> Mhm.
>> So every I think every organization have
their own rules and how everything
operates. So now it's up to you to just
know how you guys will fix yourself
because now the employer doesn't want to
know. You guys are the ones who are in
the ground. M
>> you guys have to know how you love to
solve your things,
>> how you love to work together,
correlate, collaborate, and just keep
things going.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> And as a as an HR, maybe have you ever
found yourself in a situation trying to
to to sort a conflict between the two?
>> Not really.
>> Okay. So, let's let's say I'm just
trying to picture a scenario where Aenzi
has come to you. I told you Mr. H. I
think uh the way I've worked for maybe a
few a few years here I need a raise or I
need uh I need to to be put somewhere
higher. How do you take that scenario?
Do you say okay relax cool call
your your tempera let me think about it
or do you do you take it in
consideration?
>> No but you know you know we have the
KPIs the key performance indicators we
have the performance appraisals that are
are done yearly. So I think that's
that's what puts you if you need a
salary review, if you need a promotion.
>> No, it's up for it's up to the
performance appraisals.
>> And if you've ticked your KPIs,
>> yes.
>> So it's not uh it doesn't depend on what
you're feeling at the moment.
>> I know no.
>> It must be what you've done through.
>> Yeah. We need to see the work. We need
to see the work. Yeah. You have to put
in the work.
>> Mhm. But do you think let's say in this
new workplaces you are talking about in
the morning you're talking about the new
technology the new the need of upsklling
the need of trying even not only getting
a graduating or getting that certificate
getting that paper then you're saying
okay enough I need to get a job but do
you think for this new generation
there's that need not even not only the
new generation even the other generation
there's that need of upskilling even uh
of course with the AI technology I think
it's everywhere. Do you think there's
that need even for the new generation to
adopt that type of even the learning
culture?
>> There's an urg because you see things
are changing and AI is also taking over
like you just have to up your game
>> like you just have to make sure
>> you move.
>> Mhm.
>> As things change, you need to know how
you how you maneuver around. And you'd
be surprised like many people like many
people online are saying many people
online say like they can't do this. I
mean me I'm too lazy for that but ground
>> I you are alone
>> we go you go for these interviews
>> you just think at you're showing up with
your degrees people have gone extra
miles people have gone further
>> just for themselves to just gain that
knowledge so I think it's always
advisable yeah
>> so do you think maybe the with social
media we talked about social media but
with social media do you think people
are being crowded by what others are
doing really. But there are people deep
down doing it differently. Even putting
the work, going to even more length of
even let's say let's say even a small
thing as a certificate. You're going to
even a more length of even getting
another certificate. But ground okay
there's no need there's no need to keep
going to keep reading. You know, it's,
you know, it's just the same thing that
used to happen even in school. Like
you'd be like,
>> but deep down
like when the when the results come,
you're like, wait,
that's how it is. People are just here
lying. No, no, no. Me, I can't do that.
>> Me, I can't take that job.
>> No, it's not for my for my peace of
mind. No,
>> but ground.
>> What?
>> Mhm.
I do think it's affecting a lot of
people cuz know there are people who are
consuming what they hear on social media
from their fellow Jenz but not really
what's happening on the reality.
>> It's really affecting a lot of people to
be honest because even most of the time
even even the influencers they'll just
be here saying
>> I can't do this. I want to do this but
themselves they are doing it and then
they trying like
>> as we're just listening to them
>> and then you're like I mean if they're
not doing why are we doing but it's
really affecting people it's really
affecting people.
>> Now uh talking about social media of
course social media comes with the type
of influence type of peer pressure on
mostly mostly the new generation is
being affected a lot by the peer
pressure they see on on social media.
How does it relate on a workplace? Maybe
someone has come to you and I find the
same thing but he's doing well off then
an attacker the same he's demanding or
she's demanding the same. Do you think
uh the thing about social media and peer
pressure is affecting even the
workplaces.
>> Mhm. I think it does but I think I think
social media it's how you take it and
social media it's what you consume.
>> You see even even in Tik Tok you have
that for FY.
>> Yeah. like that's what you consume and
even when you when you're trying to
install an app or log into an app they
ask you what you prefer
>> what you what you need to be seeing what
you need to choose
>> so I think it's it's what you consume
>> Mhm.
>> it's what you consume
>> and how you take it now it's up to you.
>> So I think peer pressure depends with
how how you take things on your end what
you consume.
>> Me there are things that would never
bother me. Mhm. Yeah.
>> I think it depends with the person also
the personality of the people.
>> Yeah, it depends with the personality. I
mean, there are things that would never
even bother me.
>> But you know, not everybody pictures
like that. They say, "Okay, I want a
lifestyle like that." But you know, you
must put the work. I think that's why
people are getting it wrong. That's why
they saying, "Okay, I cannot do." You
have he had someone say on social media
that doing a 9 to 5 job is not really
paying enough as a fin trading
>> and then and then and then again our
generation needs to they just want to
get rich and wealthy first like they
they don't even care
>> or they'll get there but they just want
to like I mean if so and so did this
>> they bought that I think I need that but
you don't know the work that they are
putting in. They'll show you the results
but those people are not showing you the
work. Yeah. They're not showing you the
work they put in. They behind the
scenes. It's still hidden.
>> Mhm.
>> Yes.
>> So that's where the new generation is
getting it wrong.
>> That's now where we getting it wrong.
Honestly,
>> maybe as a nature, maybe you've worked
with this generation. Maybe what's the
best advice you can give them maybe
about let's say about upscaling. You're
talking about upskilling. The lady was
talking about try and not only focus on
on what the purpose you have. you have
already let's say you have a masters you
have a degree in doing um let's say even
media but don't focus on that degree a
lot
>> focus on upskilling what skill do you
have do you think that's the thing that
the recruiters even the you are looking
for right now
>> that's true like I mean you already have
that degree you already have that
masters
>> just focus on what you don't have focus
on what you need to get
>> I mean you see
>> every day like we live to learn we live
you have to to have a new skill
>> Mhm. M.
>> So just focus on what you don't have.
>> What you already have
>> it's already there. So like we need to
look for something that you don't have
already.
>> Mhm.
>> Yes.
>> Now maybe talk about um let's say when
you're looking for the that skill that
type of skill that you need so that you
can achieve that job. Talk about uh what
else do you think the Gen Z should have
apart from skills. You know we we've
been talking about you need a skill, you
need a purpose but in reality you're not
employing people with purpose alone.
You're employing the skill. Do you think
now that that is a demotivating factor
to the Zenzi when I say okay why should
I go to school but this certificate
while I can do I can start content
creation then I get the same job that
you that you're doing. So do you think
it's a function?
I think that part that part alone of
having a lot of people that are not
employed itself is also demotivating.
Like even you hear even most time when
you graduate and you hear people say
>> that itself is also demotivating. But I
mean there there are there are a lot of
things that someone can do
>> besides even being employed. Even before
you even get into that employment, there
are skills even you can just start
learning like just like just always be
ready like you you never know what
awaits you.
>> Yeah,
>> always be ready for anything. It's a
good point. I'm not talking about um
unemployment talking about even the the
the market places, the job places and
how it looks right now cuz I think it's
way overcrowded compared to what they
Yeah. Do you think uh that's where the
maybe the millennials get it wrong?
They're saying uh nyu you're not putting
the effort to get the job but maybe
during that time it was easier compared
to right now right now there's a lot of
competition there's a lot of
requirements that you need so that you
can get a specific job. Do you think
there's that type of
>> uh you know
we we've been raised at a time where we
can access things easily and most of
most of the genes out here
>> Mhm. are graduating every day. People
have those papers. People people are
just making it. People are just
graduating every day. Compared to those
days, you know, degrees were few. The
diplomas were so few. So having a
degree, having a that diploma was a hot
in the in the market at that time. But
right now, everyone has it. Mhm.
>> Get so you find many genesis in the
organization because we all of us have
the qualifications
>> beside and your time your time was
different.
>> I mean you didn't have that. You've seen
even organizations where millennials
have grown from being the customer went
back to school you came went to the HR
assistant move to the HR officer HR
manager
>> like a progress
>> a progress a progress
>> so do you think the new generation want
that I want a pop
>> no the thing is not just
>> you want to be you have to be the senior
but do you think maybe it's about not
only the not only the standards that are
that are being put place by social media
people doing social media but do you
think about the high cost of living that
is right now do you think it's also
affecting what the demands are for Jenz
in the in the workplaces
>> mhm
the cost of living it's really affecting
>> even not even not even jenz like
everyone everyone is being affected by
the cost of living I mean everything
right now
>> the prices are crazy
>> so yeah I think
>> it's not only the the the the amount of
pay that you are getting. So the cost of
living is also affecting what you're
demanding. But maybe maybe now finish up
cuz I think the time is not really on a
side. Let's talk about what a Jenz can
describe as an ideal boss for them.
Let's say
>> what what can really they describe. But
before we do that, we're talking about
Jenz's in workplaces. We're getting a
lot of insights about what really is
happening in these workplaces from
Charel who is a Gen Z also. So the she
was say talking about how jenzes are not
stubborn they are not lazy rather they
need to be understood more they need
even to have that type of peace when
they're doing their job but I just want
to get your opinion on what's really an
ideal boss for a jenzi
>> I think
every jenzi just wants that boss that
they can just they're just free to talk
to
>> like you can just be like you know this
and this is happening Mhm.
>> I think I'm not okay.
>> Mhm.
>> I mean, like someone you can just have a
conversation with, like if you get into
that office, if you get to that
workplace, like you don't feel tensed.
>> Uhhuh.
>> Like you don't feel that
>> they don't want to feel like they are
still in high school.
>> Exactly. Like you don't want to feel
like No one wants that. It
>> feels a safety.
>> Yeah. Like you just want peace at work.
You just want to be relaxed,
>> have a normal conversation with your
boss like with everyone.
>> I think that's that's that's what we
want.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> Maybe what one word that maybe the
bosses there, the managers, they are
describing Jenza as right now. Is it
stubborn or they describing them as
innovative?
>> Jenz are innovative.
>> They're innovative.
>> But they they can be stubborn if they
choose stubborn in a good way.
>> In a good way. In a good way. Yes, but
they are very innovative.
>> Mhm.
>> Their minds are so we just have good
minds. We have good brains.
>> Yeah, that's it.
>> Okay. Now to just finish up maybe what
is the what can you tell maybe the
employers out there this your camera?
You can tell the employers out there
about Gen Z the myth and all
misconception they have about Jenzi or
even you can tell the the new generation
the Gen Z's about what they expect when
they are going to these workplaces how
they should conduct themselves or in
these workplaces and how the the respect
on all the order runs in the workplace
compared to what they used to or what
they anticipate the the assumption and
the reality.
>> Mhm.
>> So to the to the employers
>> we are good people. M
>> we we have good brains. We are very
innovative.
>> And uh just just being just just having
a few genesis that
>> have some certain characters doesn't
>> doesn't make all of us
>> fall in the same pole.
>> Like some some of us are different.
>> It's just that we're just carrying the
name.
>> Doesn't
just generalizing. But
>> you're good people. I'm sure you have
good we have good people out there like
we just have good people. It's just how
you brought up.
>> Mhm.
>> That's it. And then
>> to the to the GenZ's themselves.
>> I mean if you're looking for that job,
just be be presentable,
>> have those papers, go to school, learn,
have that skill. Just be ready. Always
be ready and prepare for what you don't
have.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> Strong tech. prepare for what you don't
know cuz I think the what the
expectation is plus the reality what
they get there is way different but the
the main topic is the main point here is
uh prepare just be prepared enough upk
very important
>> in in this our country
>> just prepare for anything
>> yeah just always be ready our country
just wake up
>> and also don't be in rush to to get to
that point where you must start
somewhere
>> yeah no pressure a day at a time there's
no pressure
>> but also or maintain respect in the the
workplaces because for for the for your
bosses, for your managers, everyone need
>> respect is key. I mean, yeah, respect is
key.
>> Yeah. Thank you so much for the for the
insights. I just going to to end it at
there, but you can just tell them what
they can get you on social media or if
you have anything else, you can just add
>> um on social media trees, LinkedIn.
>> Mhm.
>> So, yeah. Yeah, that's all.
>> Instagram,
>> Treza.
