Read previewEveryone is likely to face challenges early on in their career, but Gen Zers feel they're discriminated against — largely because of their age. Gen Zers are seen as the cohort most likely to write their résumés and cover letters with the help of ChatGPT and other AI services. A Gen Z creator was the first to coin the term " lazy-girl job." The workforce's expectations are shifting; it's not just the impact of "Gen Z particulars," she added. "I applied to hundreds of roles before landing a job at Applied, which eventually led to my becoming CEO," she said.

But first: Big Tech reporting for duty. AdvertisementEven before Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft reported earnings, investors' focus was clear. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg didn't shy away from his intention to keep plowing money into AI, but investors didn't mind. Softening demand from shoppers for Amazon led to a miss in reported net sales and a weaker-than-expected sales forecast for the third quarter.

AdvertisementWhile an assigned desk used to be a given in an office, the pandemic ushered in an era of hot desking and working from home. Now, cubicles and assigned office desks are more of a novelty, meaning those lucky few who get one are sometimes keen to make the most of it. AdvertisementAnother Gen Zer, Zernab Saeed, wanted to make the most of having a personal office desk in her first job out of college. Many companies are still shifting toward reducing office space, leaving fewer opportunities for people to enjoy having their own desks.

At Club Penguin, I adopted colorful pets called puffles and purchased kitsch furniture for my virtual igloo. "I was big on Club Penguin, Wizard101, Moshi Monsters, and this obscure one called Ourworld," he told me. Club Penguin, which ran from 2005 to 2017, stands out as one of the era's most beloved virtual worlds. "That same generation logged into Club Penguin to play with friends." In 2017 it shut down Club Penguin and replaced it with a mobile version, Club Penguin Island.

Related storiesAthwal said that the change in etiquette extends beyond out-of-office emails. He said he noticed the change in Gen Z résumés, regular work emails, and Microsoft Teams messages. Daniel Harris, a director at the recruitment firm Robert Walters, told BI that he, too, noticed Gen Z employees signing off emails with fun and informal taglines. Paola Accettola, CEO of the consultancy True North HR, also said that fun out-of-office emails should usually be reserved for coworkers only. Still, it can present problems if a colleague or client misinterprets what is meant to be a funny out-of-office email or email sign-off," she said.

Office jargon is another corporate relic that Gen Z is unsubscribing from, refusing to "circle back" or get their "ducks in a row." "Gen Z isn't playing the corporate language game," Emily Durham, a recruiter and popular TikToker, told Business Insider. About 60% of the Gen Z and millennials surveyed said this workplace jargon felt like another language, and two-thirds thought their colleagues overdid it. Jargon is exclusionaryThe "corporate accent" is also joining jargon on the list of workplace cultures that Gen Z is resisting. But another may also be how educated Gen Z is on the roots of some of these things.

Sophie O'Brien, the founder of the entry-level recruitment service Pollen Careers, told Business Insider that if companies want to hire the best-fitting Gen Z talent, they should ditch asking for a résumé. Gen Z are people aged 12 to 27. O'Brien found success in hiring Gen Z talent with less conventional methods. Advertisement"It's alienating Gen Z," she said. "This is groundbreaking for Gen Z, they absolutely love it," O'Brien said.

For many Gen Zers, the generation between the ages of 12 and 27, TikTok is the primary social media platform where they find products to buy. Gen Z doesn't really trust influencers anymoreInfluencers don't hold the same power they once did among younger audiences, some research suggests. Because of limited regulation of the social media advertising space, fraud runs rampant on social media . Some evidence suggests Gen Z is benefiting financially from living at home but may not feel these benefits because of money dysmorphia. This dysmorphia can sometimes be fueled by social media, where wealthy lifestyles are on display.

The 13th hole on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Juniper Preserve. The golf course and clubhouse at Hualalai Resort in Hawaii. For Chelsea, a golf course community's "selling point" was simply the ability to enjoy nature. "I could go either way on living on a golf course — it didn't really matter to me," she added. "But the idea that when the golf course is closed, then you have this great big space between you and your neighbors.

Inspired by singer Charli XCX's seventh studio album "Brat," which came out last month, large swaths of social media users — primarily Gen Zers — are celebrating the carefree, rebellious lifestyle depicted throughout the record. The trend gained more attention on Sunday after Charli XCX posted "Kamala IS brat" to social media platform X, referencing U.S. vice president Kamala Harris' attitude, age and energy as she campaigns to become the country's first-ever woman president. For Charli XCX, whose given name is Charlotte Aitchison, the brat takeover is unexpected — the album was risky, and could've flopped. But Charli XCX didn't enjoy the songs: The record represented the "vanilla palatable flatness" that pop music embodied at the time, she told The Face in February. "I wasn't born to do radio one liners," said Charlie XCX, who's been releasing music since age 19.

PepsiCo says it's two-thirds of the way done with an overhaul of its supply chain. This article is part of "The Future of Supply-Chain Management," a series on companies' manufacturing and distribution strategies. With more automation, workers are doing fewer physical tasks, like driving a forklift, and far more oversight of the machines taking over those tasks. Workers at manufacturing facilities and distribution centers and the unions that represent them often bristle at automation, which can lead to layoffs. Even as it has invested in automation, PepsiCo's total workforce has swelled: It grew by 20%, to 318,000, over the five years that ended in 2023.

In fact, Gen Zers — people born between 1997 and 2012 — are more worried about saving than any other generation, a BI survey showed. Nearly half of Gen Zers and millennials have it, according to a recent Credit Karma survey. Money dysmorphia goes beyond wanting to pay off some credit card debt or to contribute more to a 401(k). It's "pervasive worry, vigilance — like an internalized feeling of unsafety with money," Clayman said, even when there aren't pressing financial problems to solve. AdvertisementClayman explained why younger generations are more likely to experience warped views around their finances — and might be more financially stable than they give themselves credit for.

Gen Z is earning a reputation as the sober-curious generation that prioritizes their health, well-being, and authenticity when finding a partner.

But, to put it bluntly, it’s not you and it’s not me, it’s Gen Z. So half of Gen Z and millennials are simply opting for more inexpensive options. At a time when 90% of Americans agree we are in a mental health crisis, according to Pew Research, Gen Z is increasingly prioritizing self-care. With Gen Z, it starts from the first date. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, when in a committed relationship, partners often refer to their significant other as their best friend.

They want diverse employers that offer a good work-life balance, remote positions, and solid mental health policies. AdvertisementThis, she said, is what's known as a "double bind," and it drives Zoomers mad. A double bind, Chang explained, is "when you are giving two or more contradicting messages at the same time." In the survey, Gen Zers were the most likely cohort to have been in a double bind (84%). Advertisement"People my age and up didn't talk about mental health," Chang said, which is why older generations can be a bit "put off" when a young employee asks for a mental health day.

But a senior recruiter said they may be making mistakes early on that set them back. The other half is that Gen Zers have a bad reputation among hiring managers. Red flagsWhen companies started filling roles again as global COVID-19 lockdowns started to lift, employers were "throwing money at candidates," Levine said. "And there's a lot of people who are just more old-school and maybe turned off by the rumors of Gen Z." They should tailor their resumes and applications to specific roles rather than sending the same version to multiple job postings.

Read previewCreating content online is more alluring than a traditional job for many people, new data by influencer marketing and technology platform IZEA found. AdvertisementThe industry can be financially unstable though, and some full-time influencers BI spoke with recently have pivoted back to the corporate world. "The idea of full-time content creation is often more glamorous than reality," creator Mitchie Nguyen previously told BI. A few months ago, the New York-based influencer left her full-time position at Johnson & Johnson to scale her social-media business. Consumers who spend more than five hours per day on social media are 4.4 times more likely to be compensated.

It also found that 75% of those who plan to watch the games are more likely to watch coverage from celebrities, influencers, and digital creators than they were for the 2021 Summer Olympics. "We found they're really excited to turn to social media for Olympic coverage because they think it will surface the most culturally relevant moments and create community," Emily Anatole, the senior director of cultural insights at UTA IQ, told Business Insider. The data explains why broadcaster NBC is tapping more influencers this year and working with the major platforms to expand social-media coverage around the Olympics. Gen Z and millennials will be tuning in to get creators' perspectives on the gamesThe involvement of more influencers this year also shows how Gen-Z and millennial viewers are changing the Olympics. Anatole said many Gen Z and millennials will use social-media platforms like TikTok and Snapchat to get Olympic coverage because of content creators like Cenat and Duke Dennis, who will help capture content for the games.

Yet, it's often hard to tell how an interview process might unfold. But now, even the interview process for getting something like a six-month assignment has proven difficult, Kilgore said. "Now, there's an assessment or multiple assessments, a self-conducted video interview where you speak to a robot via webcam, then a phone-screening interview, then some kind of in-person interview, and then an interview where you meet the senior management," the person wrote. Schielke recounted one interview she participated in where there was the candidate and then 15 people on the other side. She added that some job seekers need to reset their expectations after several years in which they were calling the shots.

The past few years have solidified single-family rental homes as genuine moneymaking enterprises, not just ho-hum nest eggs. Related storiesWhen everyone was scrambling for their piece of the suburbs during the pandemic, mom-and-pop landlords pounced, using these newfound tools to collect more cash. The company, which estimates only one-fourth of single-family-rental landlords use professional management services, now manages more than 28,000 rentals on behalf of small landlords. As the Wall Street ethos trickles down to small rental owners, it'll be harder and harder to tell them apart. But the gap is narrowing as small rental owners capitalize on the innovations that the institutional class has already embraced.

More than a few still carry the scars, including one 80-year-old woman I recently spoke to about her middle school experience. Instead of facing a mean girl or boy of his own, he wound up with a social media influencer in his class who held sway over the entire grade. “All of these issues with social media are coming to a head right now and there’s wildly insufficient research,” Marc Berkman, CEO of the non-profit Organization for Social Media Safety, told me recently. Middle school is complicated enough without all the extra pressures generated by having a social media influencer sitting next to you. From middle school science class, we know that a fire needs oxygen to burn.

AdvertisementOne of those accounts was run by Australian brand Tbh Skincare. But while many considered it simple, lighthearted fun, the skincare company ran into trouble when its video spread farther afield. The Tbh Skincare women didn't take the criticism lying down, posting two more videos. In Australia, where Tbh Skincare is based, mental health is covered by a workplace's insurance. The internet is forever, and young workers should assume anything posted will be visible to future employees, Hart said.
