Do many Gen Z workers lack motivation? Are they easily distracted? Do they have poor face-to-face communication skills? Are many unrealistic and crave recognition/attention? Do they have a disdain for repetitive tasks and lack an acceptable work ethic? Are many claiming that their “mental health” is at risk with certain responsibilities?

Title: Part 2 of 2 - BUSINESS LEADERS: UNDERSTANDING GEN Z
Topic: Work Habits of Millennials

Discussed by Dr. James Thrasher
with The Institute for Faith and Freedom (www.FaithAndFreedom.com)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is “High Frustration Tolerance”?

Why is it important for employees to work independently – without applause/recognition?

Are many Gen Zer’s ruled by anxiety and stress? Does this prevent many from functioning in society and even going to work?

Do many Gen Zer’s lack patience for long timelines, wanting to get tasks and projects completed as quickly as possible?

Older generations were raised with a “make do” type of mindset. Do many Gen Zer’s crave the latest in everything – including in their career choices – never satisfied with the mundane?

So what happened? Why are Gen Zer’s so different than Gen Xers and Baby Boomers?

Title: REVENGE QUITTING EPIDEMIC IS OUT OF HAND
Topic: Work Habits of Millennials

Discussed by Douglas Shaw
with Douglas Shaw Perspective (www./dougshawperspective.com/)

A recent Fortune article sounded the alarm on increasingly toxic workplace cultures, revealing that nearly half of workers are now “revenge quitting” — walking out on their jobs without notice, with many being long-tenured, loyal employees.

Today, new guest Douglas Shaw discusses this serious trend. YES – it is serious and we must pay attention! Douglas Shaw is the author of several books, including his latest book, “Curative Culture”, which can be found here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why are people revenge quitting? Douglas believes it all boils down to the toxic “me me me culture”, saying: “Revenge quitters are only hurting themselves.”

What can employers do to stop their employees from revenge quitting? Can co-workers help, also?

What can we do to reverse this trend? Douglas discusses both short and long-term solutions employers can implement in their company/organization to keep their employees happy and satisfied.

Douglas Shaw spends the last few minutes of the interview discussing the hope and encouragement readers can gain from his book, “Curative Culture”.

Topic: Work Habits of Millennials

Discussed by Jared Meyer
with The Foundation for Government Accountability (www.thefga.org)

Part 1 of 2

The American workforce has been changing for decades, but the impact is affecting millennials in a dramatic fashion. Many blame the government for the current state of low employment, but is it the government’s “fault”? Can the government even help the situation?

New guest Jared Meyer is a Senior Fellow with The Foundation for Government Accountability. Jared will be discussing the factors behind the changing workforce and the challenges millennials are facing today.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do millennials have a different work habit, schedule, and ethic then the “older people” who are hiring them?

How are independent contract workers vs. part/full-time employees impacting the workforce, especially among millennials?

Are many millennials demanding flexible work schedules and requesting to work from home with little to no direct supervision?

Listen as Jared Meyer shares a story from his childhood…

Is technology helping or hindering the millennial workforce? Or is it a combination of both?
