Gen Z workers face misconceptions as demanding and unmotivated, yet their expectations reflect a demand for fairness and alignment with their values. Many organizations fire early hires from this generation, illustrating a disconnect. Leadership strategist Jeff LeBlanc notes that what is seen as 'quiet quitting' emerges from a need for workplaces that prioritize psychological safety and transparency. As older generations exit the workforce, understanding Gen Z's unique experiences of social issues and mental health is crucial for employers aiming to attract and retain these valuable future employees.
"What many have labeled '[quiet] quitting' is actually a rational response to workplaces that lack fairness, structure, and alignment with employee values," leadership strategist Jeff LeBlanc wrote.
"Gen Z grew up amid economic uncertainty, social justice movements, and an increasing focus on mental health. They don't just want jobs; they want workplaces that prioritize psychological safety, transparency, and fairness."
