There are concerns that generation z may be unprepared for the workplace, with some outlets suggesting this could lead to a "lost generation" of employees. The reasons for this perceived lack of preparedness are unclear, with some sources implying that the issue may lie with gen z themselves, while others suggest that employers may be failing to understand or accommodate the needs and working styles of younger employees. The situation has reportedly led to high turnover rates, with some gen z graduates being let go from their jobs just months after being hired.
