HALF of managers complain it’s ‘difficult’ to work with snowflake Gen Z employees – while more than a THIRD reveal they’ve had to FIRE younger staff because they’re too ‘easily offended’

More than half of managers have been forced to fire Gen Z workers after claiming that they ‘lack motivation’ and are ‘easily offended.’

In a new study by US-based company ResumeBuilder, team leaders were asked about their workforce – with shocking results.

It found that out of more than 1,300 respondents the majority (74 per cent) believe Gen Z is more difficult to work with than any other generation.

And, of that group, 59 per cent said they had been forced to fire a Gen Z worker, with 12 per cent doing so within the first week of their employment. The survey revealed the reasons managers find Gen Zers to be challenging employees, including a lack of technological skills (39 per cent), effort (37 per cent) and motivation (37 per cent) – to name just a few.
