Comment on Gen Z is bringing a whole new vibe to the workplace: anxietyparent

I don't think they are.

I had to listen to similar comments about Millennials.

It's just the current youngest group, who are the least experienced so will be the most anxious. You just grow out of it, and forget how shitty it was when you first entered the workforce.

IDK, have you read "The Coddling of The American Mind"? Book or even just the article?

Or even Michael Easter's "Comfort Crisis"?

Each successive generation has had it easier and easier but...

1) Easy isn't how we evolved

2) The lack of adversity means some emotional muscles are underdeveloped

I'm not American, so no I have not read an article about why American children are being coddled.

However it is a well known phenomen that the youngest generation gets picked on by those already in the workforce. Or are you saying that Gen X is still generally worthless compared to the older generations?

The idea that Chris Rock was being a prick and mocking a group of people being unacceptable and rejected isn't any more surprising than comedians making racist or disabled jokes being rejected 30 years ago.

There are plenty of actually funny people who don't need to do that.
