Gen Z employees, born between 1997 and 2012, are moving away from traditional annual performance reviews, which they find unhelpful and outdated. Leadership consultant Tracy Lawrence explains that this generation favors regular check-ins and personalized feedback that fosters growth. Unlike previous generations, they crave immediate responses and support in their work environment, as delayed feedback contributes to disengagement and higher burnout rates. Managers are encouraged to adopt real-time feedback methods to enhance employee satisfaction and prevent what’s being termed 'revenge quitting'—a trend of employees resigning as a protest against perceived unfair treatment.
"For Gen Z specifically, waiting months for feedback feels alien and disengaging. A generation accustomed to immediate responses on digital platforms finds traditional annual reviews particularly frustrating and inauthentic."
"This is the new idea of people choosing to quit their jobs in the most inconvenient way possible in order to disrupt the business; it's a form of protest against what they perceived as unfair treatment."
