In 2025, tensions are rising at Market Basket as CEO Arthur T. Demoulas faces administrative leave. Unlike the solidarity of 2014, current Gen Z employees show muted loyalty, shaped by economic instability and past layoffs. They express lower long-term commitment to the company but value their coworkers and affordable prices. This evolving employee mindset reflects a demand for fairness and clarity in workplace relationships, contrasting sharply with the previous generation's perspective of stable company allegiance.
When I spoke with a Gen Z employee this week, their perspective was both honest and revealing. 'There's no way I really care about the long-term health of the company... I'm torn.'
The energy is quieter. The loyalty less certain. And for good reason: the workforce has changed.
