The saddest thing about youth unemployment is that many young people did exactly what society told them to do: study, qualify, work hard. Yet opportunities remain out of reach.
Nobody tells you that some of your biggest milestones happen quietly. No party. No post. Just you, standing in your kitchen, realizing you finally feel okay.
A Gen Z was negotiating salary.
During the discussion, HR said,
“Work from home has many advantages.”
Gen Z listened.
HR continued,
“You save on transport.
Lunch.
Traffic.
Fuel.
Work clothes.
You get more time with family.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“And what does the company save?”
The room went quiet.
- No argument.
- No pushback.
- Just a question.
HR hesitated.
Gen Z continued,
“Wi-Fi.
Electricity.
Office rent.
Water.
Cleaning.
Security.”
- More silence.
- No arrogance.
- No entitlement.
Just math.
That’s when HR realized something.
Gen Z doesn’t see WFH as a benefit.
They see it as shared cost reduction.
Older generations were told to be grateful.
Gen Z reads the balance sheet.
- They value flexibility.
- They value fairness.
- They value transparency.
They’re not asking for favors.
They’re asking for alignment.
It’s not audacity.
It’s awareness.
And honestly, can you blame them?
