I actually only learnt this new term after back in Malaysia, frankly speaking I hate how other people judging my work performance with this term.
Especially comment that when we did nothing wrong, conclude the new comers with this term if one of us dissapointed the management.
Based on the characteristic on picture above, I do admit I fit well in all 6 defined characters
Indeed, we think differently from the Gen X (1960-1980s) but, we are much more better than Gen Z (1990s)!
I do think due to the changes of the society as time flies, more people in workforce now is highly educated, the view of job roles definitely would be different like old days.
Work smart is our principal (we tends to find the effective way to get job done), while for Gen X, they think we, as younger, should work hard, pay more effort in work, try every solution even know it might not work bcz they think can learn from the hard way.
Indeed I also disagree with the Gen X view because the way they suggested, is working like a slave, or in better description - worker holic.
But, if compared with Gen Z, I think I paid more effort and heart on my job.
Recently, there's a new comer in my team, a "boy" born in 1993 joining our department.
Sincerely, I think he did not have the heart and effort on the job, maybe because he still new, maybe he is struggling, maybe he is stressed....
But from the first day, he asked: is the job load very heavy?, then after assigned for only 2 tasks, he told me : "very busy ah"
Seriously, I am worried he could not stand for the job.
As our workload are getting heavier due to the incapable newly joined boss (even after 3 mths, and likely she had been confirmed), we had to do extra work.
Now with a new comer, seems like we perhaps would be saved, but too bad our new boss is too much, and the gen z is still young.
Indeed with his young and energertic character, our department had lots of fun, but still he gave me an impression he could not take a hard job like what we are currently doing.
As a gen Y, I do want flexible hours in terms of work life balance, I want career progression and personal development, I do like training just because it add value to my resume.
For immediate feedback, we live in an efficient generation, of cause I would appreciate immediate feedback.
Let's see the conclusion from above photo: Gen Y workers have a higher desire than previous generations to contribute creatively to their company
So instead of criticizing on Gen Y, why not taking initiative to appreciate for our goodness?
