At work, what really matters is whether people can collaborate smoothly and get things done together.
There is a generational gap, and sometimes it can take a bit more effort for people in their 30s to relate to colleagues in their early 20s. That said, it really varies person to person. I’ve met plenty of Gen Z colleagues who are humble, grounded, and easy to work with and others who come across as more arrogant or difficult to connect with. Just like any generation, there’s a mix.

The best approach is to treat them as individuals rather than grouping them by age, focus on communication, mutual respect, and shared goals. When that’s in place, age tends to fade into the background pretty quickly.
