☆ Why Americans Hate Their Jobs; Fake Email Jobs, Meaningless Work
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Molly Lipson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +11 min

The American Psychological Association highlights findings that people who find their jobs meaningful are more engaged, show up to work more, and are healthier. Many in those industries have begun to refer to their work as "fake email jobs" — office jobs that largely involve sending emails without producing anything. Other people have managed to juggle multiple full-time remote jobs thanks to the limited amount of work each job actually required. Working a useless job is a "profound psychological violence," Graeber wrote, one that removes any sense of dignity and fosters "deep rage and resentment." Short of everyone quitting to become their own CEO, employers will need to figure out how to make work feel meaningful for their staff.

Gen Zers, it turns out, are "not on a linear journey to evaluate the veracity of anything." In other words, Gen Zers know the difference between rock-solid news and AI-generated memes. For Gen Z, checking what other people are saying in the comments isn't shallow. The aim is to reach Gen Z readers where they live — scrolling through the comments — and turn them into subscribers. But I'll confess that I worried about the idea that Gen Z checks the comments to decide what to believe.

Economic commentator Kyla Scanlon is noticing a potentially worrying trend in the investing outlook among younger generations. "But then you have the other side, which is an element to financial nihilism, where people don't want to save for retirement. They don't want to save money in general because they don't believe the future is there." Scanlon is aiming to bridge Gen Z's divided financial attitudes with her new book, "In This Economy?

Gen Z is struggling to find love amid various dating challenges, and it's largely because dating apps have made them too picky, according to one relationship therapist. Gen Z generally refers to the generation born between 1997 and 2012. "When we're on dating apps, the way that we can filter people is not conducive to actually finding someone who's a really good match." "Dating apps have forced us to prioritize things that don't actually matter in relationships," Guenther explained. The illusion of choice on dating apps means Gen Z is rejecting people over inconsequential details.
