Gen Z and millennial productivity is being crushed by bosses who don’t understand them, top university research says (fortune.com)

Starting a career has increasingly felt like a right of passage for Gen Z and Millennial workers struggling to adapt to the working week and stand out to their new bosses.

But it looks like those bosses aren’t doing much in return to help their young staffers adjust to corporate life, and it could be having major effects on their company’s output.

Research by the London School of Economics and Protiviti found that friction in the workplace was causing a worrying productivity chasm between bosses and their employees, and it was by far the worst for Gen Z and Millennial workers.

The survey of nearly 1,500 U.K. and U.S. office workers found that a quarter of employees self-reported low productivity in the workplace. More than a third of Gen Z employees reported low productivity, while 30% of Millennials described themselves as unproductive.

Unemployment might be relatively low, but the job market It's kind of sucking for skilled labor.

Unskilled jobs don't pay enough to get the "American dream" Even beginner skilled jobs aren't footing the bills anymore.

Rent is through the roof, housing prices are immense. Food is inflated, wages are not. I've been working 60 hours as long as I can remember. It shouldn't need to be that way. Especially not for young adults in the workforce now, thinking about starting a family.

As far as the beef with managers The consensus here is not wrong. I'm a Gen x manager and it's honestly a fight. I've been doing the job for 30 years and probably for the first 20 of them shit didn't really change All that much. There was a good way and a bad way to do x. I'm inclined to ask you to do x and tell you to make sure you do it the good way. What I don't know is that 9 years ago someone went why the f*** is there a bad way to do x and they changed it now there's no bad way, but I sound like an idiot grandpa telling you to watch out for something that's no longer an issue.

Sure I try to do trench work as much as possible but I've got budgets, reviews, and planning meetings. The best I can do on an average day is to remember that I'm not an authority on everything anymore and rely on my team. Hey do x, I remember the last time I did x you had to make sure that y and z weren't an issue, that might not be the case anymore so please do x and use your best discretion if Y and Z are still a thing make sure that they are covered. Hopefully they give me feedback on y and z or I'll just be crazy grandpa again in another decade. Worst case, their best discretion was a wrong choice and they waste their time we all feel bad about it and the work has to be redone.
