Gen Z is entering the workforce in full force—but are they actually ready for it?
In this episode, I unpack a story I shared on TikTok about firing my first assistant after just three weeks on the job 👀. What followed in the comments was a lively debate about generational norms, communication, and expectations in the workplace—and now I’m bringing that convo here.
Is this a Gen Z thing? A pandemic-era onboarding problem? Or was it just a her thing? Let’s discuss.
✨ Drop your thoughts in the comments. I want to hear what you would’ve done.
👋🏾 And if you’re into business, pop culture, or the mess in between, don’t forget to subscribe.
