Yesterday during a Zoom meeting, something awkward happened.
We were onboarding a new remote worker.
The HR casually said:
“Sometimes the team stays online late when things get busy.”
The new lady asked,
“Late as in overtime… or late as in unpaid?”
The whole call went quiet.
Later HR started talking about growth opportunities.
She asked again,
“Does growth here mean salary growth… or just more work?”
Another silence.
I was on that call and it hit me.
People say Gen Z is lazy, but I think they are bold.
But what I saw yesterday didn’t look like laziness.
It looked like a generation that watched the previous one get overworked, underpaid, and easily replaced.
So now they ask the questions before the work starts.
And honestly…
most companies aren’t used to employees asking those questions out loud.
Maybe Gen Z isn’t lazy.
Maybe they just refuse to play the same game.
