There are reports of Gen Z employees being let go shortly after being hired, and some employers are criticizing their work readiness. However, not all outlets agree on the reasons for this perceived lack of preparedness, with some suggesting that Gen Z's needs and expectations, such as prioritizing mental health, may be misunderstood or unfairly judged.
