Gen Z And How The Deal With Stress

Millennials were tough, but this younger generation is more activist, and when you know, when it's like climate change, we love it, but when you're like the intern and you send an email to the CEO saying, "I don't think so." that you like it's like you know there are other ways to do it um uh it starts with empathy it starts with empathy and we have to understand it it's not for better or worse the changing nature of what work has become in our lives yeah If you go back. a lot of decades ago, it used to be that you got your sense of purpose from church, you got your sense of community from the bowling league, you got, you knew your neighbors, you had barbecues with them on the weekends and we worked, it was me.

I was loyal to the job and the job was loyal to me at some point I would buy a gold watch, besides there is a whole generation that when I talk about the gold watch they have no idea what I'm talking about, right, that's what the world. I changed um and the job was just a place where I made a living to pay my bills, but I still enjoyed it, you know, it was still loyalty as time went by, church attendance has gone down, bowling clubs. They no longer exist. If we don't talk to our neighbors we become very isolated and what happened is that all that pressure is now being put in the office.

Now I expect my company to be the place where I get my purpose, the place where I get my friendships, the place where I get my community, the place where I get my social life now we've also added the place where you have to agree with all of my policies , right, that's new and even now, especially during Co, it's gone up even more, especially for this group of young people, um, where you also have to be my therapists, my therapy. I'm going to take all my problems to work and where the idea of ​​emotional professionalism seems to have disappeared.

You know, you actually see people sitting in meetings like this and you're like what's going on having a bad day right that's emotional Ally unprofessional right can you I want you to bring your emotions to work I want you to bring your whole self to work but for the same reason While we exercise emotional professionalism and other aspects of Our Lives we also do it at work, so one of the struggles of this young generation is that they are not prepared to

deal

with

stress

, they are simply less equipped than previous generations by several reasons, including social media, the Internet and everything, and you know. parenting and everything else, there are lots of reasons for it, but they're really not good at

deal

ing with

stress

, they're very bad at dealing with confrontation, they avoid confrontation so much that they'd rather ghost someone than break up with them. . after dating them for six months, it's true that they would rather quit their job than ask their bus for a raise and usually in spectacular fashion, like you don't value me, you don't pay me enough, you'd say if only You would ask me, We would have given you a raise, we love you, but you quit because you are simply afraid of the conversation, so you feel very intimidated by confrontation, you are not prepared to deal with stress, there is emotional immaturity, lack of professionalism emotional, right, and this is not a good or bad thing it just is, so having empathy and understanding is important, so the question arises of how they are coping badly with their stress, so there is a new phenomenon that I am seeing it happen in many offices where especially young people find one or two empaths in the team and go to them with all their problems and it is not traditional I hate my boss I hate my job venting about work is fine I don't have the problem with That's why I hate my mom.

I don't know what I want to do with my life. When am I going to leave my house? What do you know? My boyfriend is not working out. My girlfriend is not working out. I like all problems. my life depends on one or two people at work and it has happened to us in our team, we had three people who quit and I got a small team. Three people quit because they said they were burned out and I was like you. Do you know how much work you do? What do you mean you're exhausted? So I wonder: Do you have another job on the side?

How can you be exhausted? You know, what I found out is that they were the impath on the team and everyone was calling them to unload they were exhausted because they were taking on everyone's stress and they were exhausted, they couldn't take it anymore and they just quit and when I talked about this publicly, a guy from 23 years old one of the companies came up to me and said, "I do that," so we have to recognize that they are struggling in a changing, chaotic, crazy world right now where there is so much uncertainty in this world as if the world was always uncertain, but my God, it's war and countries. at each other's throats and there's the Challenge and global warming and it's just crazy these poor kids and they have no way out, they don't know how to deal with it, so my big CH, my big uh, it's a challenge for all of us.

How do we hold space for them? And the problem is that they don't even recognize when we are doing the right thing for them. That's the hardest part. A lot of anger. But the problem is that it's going to take a while. a little bit like we're in a period of extreme change and we're not going to settle one bit, where there's going to be a lot of bumps, a very bumpy road for the next few years, there's no right answer and you're going to be. I know um um, you know that no good deed will go unpunished, you know?
