A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
We are not doing no arguing, cursing each other out,calling each other names, breaking stuffs, fighting physically, yelling, hurting each other’s bodies and destroying personal belongings. Whenever we have a misunderstanding, we talk about it and iron it out in a civilised way.
Today there were joyous celebrations as the College students and staff celebrated the Feast Day of St Ignatius of Loyola. The day commenced with a special mass, which was followed by a delightful feast luncheon. AMDG
@chidotaziv @King_Tanyah Perhaps you should follow the context before trying to start an argument. The point is while some of us will be going there for actual reasons others are going there for optics. It’s not about being “bougie” it’s about people stopping us from carrying out our lives for whatever
