There are seven people in our department, three of whom are Gen Z. They all started with zero experience but picked up the job quickly. They perform just as well as their senior colleagues. They learn fast and have a shit-ton of energy. They’re happy to take on new projects and even pitch sensible ideas. Overtime? No problem. Weekend shifts? A piece of cake. And you know why? We pay overtime exactly as the Labor Code requires, offer extra pay for projects and bonuses for implemented ideas, and have a KPI system in place.
Employers are used to Millennials breaking their backs for the sake of "the mission," whereas Gen Z—like normal people—work for money. Offer decent financial incentives, and everyone will work great, regardless of age.
