American employers complain about Generation Z employees

With the return of employees to the office, many members of Generation Z have found themselves in an offline work environment for the first time and faced challenges. According to The San Francisco Standard, workers of this generation demonstrate an inadequate attitude towards office culture.

According to a study by Intelligent, 125 out of a thousand companies have noticed that Generation Z candidates come to interviews with their parents. Such behavior is considered unacceptable by employers, prompting some companies to seek help from etiquette coaches to train young employees on workplace behavior norms.

“The cultural conflict has forced employers to find a new solution: hire etiquette experts to teach young employees the basics of workplace behavior.”

Rosalinda Randall, an etiquette coach, reported an increase in requests for training on workplace behavior rules. She charges up to $2,500 for seminars for employees that cover personal hygiene, office communication rules, and other aspects of work culture.

Members of Generation Z are turning away from rented housing in favor of living in hotels, considering it a more advantageous and convenient option.

In San Francisco, the return of employees to offices is causing Generation Z to struggle with adapting to the offline work environment. Some companies are even hiring etiquette coaches to teach young workers workplace etiquette. Rosalinda Randall, one of those coaches, reports a growing demand for training on workplace culture rules, for which she receives decent compensation.
