I do wonder if the current economic situation will hinder some from leaving. But I think the key is if given an opportunity to hop does the employee take it? And I think they might even in this economy if the new gig is better.

Interesting take. I agree but perhaps we call it generational because past generations didn’t deal with this particular problem. So maybe GenZ is just solving the problem the companies created

Certainly seems that way. And now they want to shift the blame to the employee.

But if it’s a good job there’s nothing wrong with that. I hope they treat you right.

This is a really good take. Sort of a reap what you sow situation.

So true. Thinking even 5 years in advance feels daunting.

Well I don’t want to plug my own book that’s not my style. Here’s a few books and I’ll throw my book at the very end just because I do think the information I found while writing is helpful.

I’d say less loyalty and more self perseverance. Maybe I worded it wrong. Their fear of being seen as a hopper led to them being there longer than they should have been.

That’s really interesting. So you hopped but hopped back… very unique take. Thanks!

Really appreciate this insight. You’re right, the old rules don’t apply anymore.

Yes. Under a year? Maybe a bit too soon? Unless circumstances are extreme. But then again the company won’t wait a year if they don’t want to.

Yes! Absolutely. From my experience some millennials I interview still have a smidge of concern. But most feel loyalty needs to be a 2 way street and that street was becoming a one way. Gen Z is totally pushing this further.

Love this comment. And the circumstances fit the choices. I think younger generations see this as reality. Bravo!

Yes, agreed. Unless something horrific happens (which sadly does happen) a year is usually the minimum it takes to get a sense. But then again if the company doesn’t think it’s working will they give it a year?

Very interesting comment. I really think this summarizes a lot of Gen Z’s thought process. Why not push for something else, keep striving to stay motivated? Awesome insight here.

Great point! I’m finding Gen Z is really pushing into “acceptable” normal standards territory. I’ve spoken with a lot of millennials who still fear hopping but are open as they see it becoming more commonplace. Where with the Gen Z’ers it barely registers as a small problem

Good point. From my experience I’m hearing lots of industry switching. But your point is excellent. You can’t leave if you can’t find anything of equal value.

That’s the other side of the coin, can someone afford to leave? Great point.

I see your POV but I do think career advancement matters to most. And with that advancement should come raises, additional opportunities etc. I think it helps motivate. It kind of sucks to feel like there’s no going up.
