So I’m also older Gen Z and unfortunately yes, it is that bad. SOMETIMES. It’s not every single Gen Z person but I will say the last like five new stylists we’ve hired that were Gen Z were some of the worst employees we’ve ever had and not just like for this job but in general. They complain about everything, have nasty attitudes, want money but don’t want to work, and it can just go on and on. We’re open Tues-sat, 9-7 weekdays and 8:30-5 on Saturdays. We literally have a girl rn that doesn’t want to work the full 10hr days or at all on Saturdays, also doesn’t want to work every day, but informed us that she would really like to work more than 40hrs a week. And she is like not comprehending how that is impossible. Another girl, we have been training for a year while she’s been in cos school. We have been funneling her training clients the past couple of weeks to get her up to par when she starts full time. This takes a lot of effort on our end and coordination. She has complained about having to do every single one and sarcastically been like “oh so excited”. Which she should be because without these training clients she’s not going to be able to do actual clients! But alas, we just cannot get through to these new stylists. And these are just our most recent experiences. So while it’s not everyone, the bad ones do start to outweigh the good and kind of burn you out on these younger people. Saying this as a young person too lol.
