Starting a career has increasingly felt like a right of passage for Gen Z and Millennial workers struggling to adapt to the working week and stand out to their new bosses.

But it looks like those bosses aren’t doing much in return to help their young staffers adjust to corporate life, and it could be having major effects on their company’s output.

Research by the London School of Economics and Protiviti found that friction in the workplace was causing a worrying productivity chasm between bosses and their employees, and it was by far the worst for Gen Z and Millennial workers.

The survey of nearly 1,500 U.K. and U.S. office workers found that a quarter of employees self-reported low productivity in the workplace. More than a third of Gen Z employees reported low productivity, while 30% of Millennials described themselves as unproductive.

    Boomers who bought their house for 20k working part time as kids complaining about the most debt ridden generations in existence.

    Its almost like the spending power wages today are so much lower now than they were and therefore so is productivity.

    But hey TVs are cheap even though essential goods like houses, food, and school are higher than ever, so fuck them kids right? Its a good thing boomers sacrificed good paying jobs for cheap imported junk.
