12% of managers say they've fired a Gen Z employee in their first week of work — and being too easily offended is often to blame, new survey finds
of more than 1,300 managers, 74% of respondents said they find Gen Z more difficult to work with than other generations, and of those 12% reported having to fire a young worker within their first week on the job.
While generational differences in the workplace have long been a point of contention, ResumeBuilder's chief career advisor Stacie Haller said the pandemic has further exacerbated challenges around areas like communication and work style. She continued:"We know that with remote work and education, communication skills do not develop as well and people tend to work more independently. Hiring managers need to be cognizant of this when interviewing GenZers for positions. This generation may need more training when it comes to professional skills."
The managers cited a variety of reasons for their disinterest in working with Gen Z, ranging from a lack of effort and productivity to how they believe young workers are easily offended.
