A new report has found that 68% of small business owners say Gen Z employees are the “least reliable,” while 71% say they’re most likely to have a mental health issue in the workplace.
One of the employers surveyed spoke of Gen Z’s “absolute delusion, complete lack of common sense, and zero critical reasoning or basic analytical skills,” according to the Freedom Economy Index report conducted by PublicSquare and RedBalloon this month.
Less than 4% of those surveyed said Gen Z was the generation that most aligns with their workplace culture, while 62% said Gen Z’s were most likely to create division and toxicity in the workplace.
Another employer surveyed said the generation is “expecting promotions for simply showing up every day.”
What’s more, 57% of those surveyed said that Gen Z runs the most risk of creating a workplace lawsuit.
Newsweek has come out in defense of Gen Z, citing two experts who say the kids are just misunderstood.
Dan Space, an HR consultant who runs DanFromHR.com, said since the study reflects the feelings of small business owners, it could be skewed. These types of businesses often do not pay well or offer a high-quality company culture, he said, and Gen Z tends to look for those in any type of role or career they take on, he said.
“Gen Z is one of the most informed, confident and no BS generation because they saw what happened to the millennials before them,” Space told Newsweek.
“Being told to go to college to get a great job, graduating with up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, with zero tools to get a job, land somewhere and not be given the information on salaries, career development, moving towards compensation models that use mixed variations….So I find they are just far more comfortable with not putting up with this BS and being informed,” Space continued.
Space conceded that Gen Zers are most likely to have mental health issues, ‘but he does believe they are more likely to be confident in discussing it and drawing boundaries,’ Newsweek reports.
Ok Dan.

I don’t have to watch a video clip or ever meet “Dan Space” to know he is a tool.
he said, ” and not be given the information on salaries, career development, moving towards compensation models that use mixed variations…”
How about this– I hire you to do X/Y and Z. I’ll pay you this much. Transaction completed with the possibility that if you have value to me I will make you a larger offer in the future to keep you around.
Dang that guy is stoopid… he must be a GenZer.
Common sense, critical thinking, and basic analytical reasoning are obviously racist, heteronormative, transphobic, patriarchal imperialism.
Look, when you send kids to be raised in insane asylums because you were “too busy” to do the job yourself; then don’t bitch about the easily foreseeable result.
This article identifies a generation of failures … but it’s a generation of failures at parenting.
This is like blaming the kid in that video from India for being a little twitchy when mom gets mad.
Take some white dress shirts, drop them in your septic tank for years and then whine that they’re unwearable when you fish them out of the tank.
Society gave them all participation trophies. What outcome did you expect other than entitlement?
Now dont get me wrong……..
Im not advocating a full flip and body slam like the deranged half-nigger dothead mommy dearest from a couple of pieces ago but maybe………..just maybe some firm discipline from the parents of this cohort could have prevented this spoiled brat generation.
Oh no…….expecting things from your toddler is the WORST thing you can do…….you monster!
/really?
5 and up………..is that OK ?
8 hours a day in government monopoly day prisons/indoctrination centers has more of an impact than parents. Thankfully homeschooling has been growing in popularity, so fewer were impacted by this than would have otherwise happened. Oh, and discipline only gets the government agents at the door.
They’re all walking around with their face in their phones in fucking la la land. A friend hired a couple of these young idiots as helpers they’re supposed to be holding the base of 30 ft ladders while soffits and fascia being worked on. The kids were on their phones with one foot on the ladders…
Uh, Dan? being in touch with your feelings and talking about them is not a feature, it’s a problem!
Used to work on a certain establishments espresso machines…….mostly women,usually older “karens” managing and younger blue hairs along with beta males and homos making your beverages…..
Overheard this one “gal”complain about not finding a job under her Masters degree…..it was everything I could to keep the laughter concealed!,literally…..so smart,your retarded!!!…….occasionally an employee would stop while I had the machine open and marvel like it was some magical land they we gazing on…….wouldn’t know a motor from a jackscrew……
Funny/sad……..
Having worked with Gen Z people, I can safely say they’re all psychotic and love to make trouble just for fun.
I love the rationale behind their tattoos! hahahaha
Well most sounds almost like ALL employees forever with the exception of ‘mental health’ stuff and talking about it. This most likely comes from all the mental health school programs with its labeling, etc.
Don’t forget … being ‘on the spectrum’ is now a badge of honor — for the children as well as for the parents. Sort of like being a T-loony …
So they are afraid of smart proles, but now they are complaining? No critical reasoning? When they have been made to do as they are told all their lives? We are governed by morons who can’t take care of themselves yet are afraid of the people who they need to take care of them. We need a specific meteor about now–there is no pill or vaccine for that.
“Why should I bust my ass for an employer so he can thrive? He wants me to go the extra mile, by doing extra things that I don’t get paid to do.”
-It’s this attitude, that holds more people back, behind those who steadily succeed.
Raises in wages are not given for an accumulation of attendance. Nor should they be.
Raises are traditionally given when an employee shows above average abilities; to go the extra mile; exhibit a willingness to do things that they recognize need to be done without having to be told to do,
and by showing an interest in improving their skill levels by learning, asking questions,
and helping others so the collective can keep the machine successfully growing.
Things like punctuality, respect for others, a friendly disposition, and working with efficiency are sorely lacking in the majority of the lumpen.
Far too many want the easy job, with great pay, right out of the gate.
The concept of earning whatever it is they want is foreign to them.
A mindset of expectancy and the entitlement mentality is at the forefront of most workers.
On top of that, the whole social media craze has created a generation that wants to constantly look at their phones during working hours, or stop working to bullshit with their peers in the workplace, thereby creating 2 or more workers engaging in unproductive activity while ‘on the clock’
The boomer generation has its slugs, but, by and large, most have a work ethic that is superior to the youngsters hired between the ages of 18-25. Immaturity is a liability.
Those observations are from working for over 50 years, in a variety of jobs, through a variety of economic cycles, and in the face of constant inflation headwinds.
As a general rule of thumb, Pareto comes to mind again.
Out of 10 workers, 2 of them will be worth their wages and then some.
6 will be average, and the final 2 will be slugs that are constant problems.
I had a boss who was guiding me on who to hire, and who to ignore.
He told me for every 9 ducks that waddle through the door, only 1 eagle will hop in,
given the opportunity, and will fly to heights that soar above the rest of the fowl.
And ducks, like far too many geese chowing all the grass on a golf course near water ponds, leave nasty shit in their wake. Everywhere. A mess that someone else has to clean up. And ALWAYS quacking. BPMing. Bitching, pissing, and moaning.

Nowadays most hires want to know how much is in their pension by first break.
Five minutes after starting their first day on the job they are confused why a Fortune 500 company hasn’t called them up and asked them to helm the company.
Help help, I’m being represessed.
Tell that to the guy who told me “I can get anybody to sit in your chair” when I was negotiating a raise.
All I got from that guy’s long rant was “Cranky rich old guy who smells like duck shit says ‘work harder, peasant.'”
Did I miss anything?
