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.
Sure, and like I already said, the others should be onboard with you. If however, like I did, push back against it and provide the reason for the push back, then it’s bad form to keep pushing. You haven’t even addressed the reason for the push back.
The first time is not forcing. Continually pushing and pushing is forcing.
Not anywhere near what I said. I said it doesn’t make me feel better, and yet you persisted. That’s not good behavior.
If you want to talk with someone rather than at them, then yes, you have to accept and adapt to what the other parties are telling either directly, through their actions, or even in hints. I’m telling you directly and that doesn’t seem to work.
You prefer to talk at me rather than with me where only your desires and intentions matter. I don’t see why you bother talking with anyone if that’s what you do, because a wall is just as good as a conversation partner as one you don’t listen to.
Yes actually. For one, I don’t force the conversations after someone lets me know they’re not interested in it. Tends to put people at ease when they feel that their boundaries are respected.
Pusing back against your rudeness is not forcing, its defending myself, especially when you double-down. Or do you expect to be rude to someone and not hear back from them?
Because when someone is trying to do something nice for you, you don’t smack their hand way. And I didn’t persist trying to be nice, but was calling you out for smacking my hand away, as it was VERY rude to do so, when the alternative was to just let the unneeded kindness go by unmentioned.
Well, when you start with being rude, you should not expect someone to talk “with you”, they’re going to talk “at you”, pointing out your rudeness. Civility has to work both ways, and your communication was rude (constantly pointing out that I was wrong, instead of inquiring further to what I was trying to convey, etc.).
My point is to have conversations with others, but what you think you are doing is conversing, when is not, you’re defending. And truly, I would say that you are the one who is not listening.
Nah, don’t think so. If you verbally attack someone for suggesting something during a conversation, that can’t be good party manners.
You want the right to act as you want with others without them being able to tell you when you are acting poorly. Gotcha.
Honestly, you were being rude, and instead of apologizing, you’re doubling down to win an Internet argument in an intellectually dishonest obtuse sort of way. You could have let my astroturfing comment just be, instead of saying I was wrong for stating it, multiple times. A waste of both of our times, and reinforces the “no good deed goes unpunished” philosophy with me.
