i think it’s time to just be real, be honest with how things are rn and accept it as it is. just let people see the results without knowing all the prices behind it
Indonesia itu udh di tahap darurat pelecehan dan kekerasan seksual ke anak dibawah umur, udh berapa banyak anak yg mungkin kasusnya ga bisa naik karna dibungkam duluan atau di bodoamatin orang sekitar? Negara kita udah ga se-aman itu untuk anak-anak kita, miris.
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?
People who suddenly say “sombong lo sekarang susah diajak ketemu” even though we’re not that close and people who suddenly call without texting first (kecuali keluarga) are really annoying.
Barusan abis scroll galeri foto dan video lama, trus tiba-tiba muncul aja pikiran “Oh gue pernah sebahagia dan sebebas ini ya”
Time flies, yet the memories remain.
