Companies are hiring and firing Gen Z graduates faster than ever, creating a very miserable work experience for everyone involved. The rapid firing of Gen Z in multiple companies is not surprising as employers have spent the last few years complaining about how this particular group of employees is hard to work with, but the scale at which this is occurring does not set a good precedent for the future of work.

The Gen Z mass firing was revealed in a recent survey that showed that six in ten employers have already fired college graduates who were hired this year. One in seven of these employers also claim that they will refrain from hiring similar recent college graduates next year as well.

According to a survey by Intelligent, 75% of companies reported that some or all of the recent college graduates they had hired this year were unsatisfactory. Companies are quickly firing these Gen Z workers because they feel these employees are “unprepared for the workforce, can’t handle the workload, and are unprofessional.” These complaints have been levied against the group for the last few years but so far, managers have been able to work around the problem rather than eliminating the workers.

The primary reason for the rapid firing of Gen Z in companies is said to be lack of motivation among the employees—50% of respondents cited this as the main reason. The other factors include lack of professionalism, poor organizational skills, poor communication skills, challenges with accepting feedback, lack of relevant work experience, and poor problem-solving skills. The dearth of technical skills, poor cultural fit, and difficulty with working in a team were a few of the less cited reasons on the list.

Who knew that spoiling your kids, withholding discipline, giving everyone a participation trophy, lowering the standards into earth's inner core and sending them to indoctrination university with a degree in underwater basketweaving would result in this?

My bother noticed this over the last several years in his corporate workplace, that Gen Z hires were clueless about work as applied effort in fulfillment of the needs and goals of the employer. Moreover, many Gen Z types struggled with basic communication and organization skills.

Thee is no “future of work”. And, simply suggesting that as an issue confirms your own bias -author.
There is “work”. Getting off your butt and putting in the time to keep yourself fed -—’CAUSE NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING!!

It always has been and always will be: work or starve. Any “safety net” you prattle on about is reserved exclusively for those that have been hit with an unearned (even from ignorance) tragedy. Lice, fleas and other vermin argue otherwise.

One more reason why illegals are bad for the country. Kids used to get summer jobs to teach them work ethics, responsibilities and how to handle money. Kids learned how to start their own businesses (lawn care etc). It was good for the kids and good for the neighborhood

Mean, cruel employers just refuse to look past the nose rings and face tattoos. If they'd just let the Gen-Zers tell them how great, wonderful and deserving they are, I'm sure they would.

I think it’s the know-it-all attitude that hurts them the most. They know they’re right. They know you’re wrong. They have no need to listen to any “advice” that some boss or anyone else is trying to give them. They don’t listen to others. They lecture other people.

Not a charming personality trait.

So true. They don't grasp that they need to show up at the same place, every day, at the same time

It's beyond them that they are responsible to give their employer 8 hours in exchange for a paycheck.

As for meeting clearly defined expectations, they are clueless. New hires at our place showed up in their ‘idiot casual’ style of dressing and behaved like the workplace was something they had a right to customize for themselves

In today’s world any salary lees than $100K/yr is charity work. So how much does this Gen Zer make?

The old “work ethic” culture has been purposely eroded, starting with the early school years.
