Will GenZ still work?
I'm a millennial and started working at 20. I quickly realized how blatantly people allow themselves to be exploited for slave wages. But it's not just me; it's 90% of my generation. Many take sick leave and receive social security benefits instead of going to work because the wages at 90% of companies are truly inhumane compared to the employer's expectations.
Do you think GenZ will no longer work?

You can't generalize. Among my online acquaintances, there are extremely hardworking people whose days often consist solely of work.
We have far more opportunities today than the generations before us, and we can build a fortune from our childhood, meaning we'll never have to rely on a regular job. Everyone has to decide for themselves how they spend their time and what they do with their lives.
I think that my generation is simply fed up with being disempowered and exploited by any kind of employee.
Recent studies show that Generation Z is currently entering the job market, bringing with it a whole new set of values and expectations than their predecessors. This presents the human resources sector with entirely new challenges—but also new opportunities and possibilities.

Regardless of what opportunities you have today that you may not have had "back then," technology, globalization, etc., you can say that the generations before you always said you were lazy, and this continues from generation to generation.
Example :
My father says I'm lazy and he was much more hardworking when I was my age. The same goes for my grandfather. He accused my father of being lazy and my grandfather was much more hardworking when he was his age.
However, this is statistically refuted:

At least the working hours (occupations) subject to social insurance contributions, if students are also included as workers, have hardly changed.
Hi, I'm 17 now and started my apprenticeship when I was 15. Many people I know start working and doing an apprenticeship at that age, so there are actually quite a lot of motivated people.
But unfortunately, there are enough people in our generation who just don't feel like it and even avoid school from the very beginning. I think that's the case with every generation: there are always some who avoid it somehow or just don't feel like it.
Well, many would like to work if it were worthwhile
Yes, that's unfortunately true. You think there are so many possibilities these days, but companies simply implement them so poorly. It's often the company management who have far too high expectations and literally just let you do the dirty work. And you don't really learn much.
I don't know, but I can't think of anyone in my circle of Gen Y who constantly takes sick leave or is voluntarily unemployed. They all basically pursue professions, in a wide variety of professional backgrounds. The same applies to Gen Z, whom I can observe in my family, for example; they're all in education and/or employed…
That's just chatter up there.
I think there are both: of course, thanks to Instagram & Co., many people have the illusion that they don't have to work – which is of course nonsense.
But what employers can do without fearing significant consequences (or even controls) is unspeakable. Well-known examples, as everyone knows, are the care/transportation/catering/hotel industries. If someone says "no, I won't do that," that's perfectly legitimate.
90% certainly not. One shouldn't generalize one's opinion.
Both I and many people I know started training at the age of 16.
Continuing now that they have graduated, well over half are working.
Difficult…If I compare my Generation Y with Generation Z, then Generation Y has a significantly different work ethic…🙃🐥
Well, it also depends on the training. A carousel brakeman can't demand a top skilled worker's wage.
The fact that you have such an attitude at such a young age is quite revealing….
A friend of mine studied for years and earned his master's degree in IT. The salary he now earns is ridiculous.
Yes, he clearly did something wrong! That's what I'm saying…
I studied and earned my doctorate, and back then I got 7 marks, or €3.50, per hour. Now people aren't even satisfied with €12.50.
I am currently doing my studies and would like to work in Switzerland or Sweden after my Masters
Of course, many will work. After graduation, you'll earn significantly more than the citizen's allowance. You'll even earn more if you work part-time.
What else can you do? Laze around at home? You can't do much with the citizen's income anyway.
Not me🙏🏼
All just prejudices.
As punishment for their ruin they will have to!
