It’s about who you know. Don’t socially isolate your self even when you are great at your job. Being invisible is a sure fire way to be overlooked when it comes to promotions or a raise. Also being likable means your colleagues will more likely have your back and root for you.
A couple of months ago there was a post on Reddit of a Gen Z person who hated when people would say a simple good morning to them. They rather walk into work, sit down, do their work and go home without talking to anyone. And a lot of other Gen Z people agreed with them. Crazy that they don’t understand how the “game” works, nobody is going to root for you when you act like that. Also no wonder Gen Z is struggling with loneliness.
Let's not start shitting on the next generation, please. We promised to be better, so let's make an attempt at empathy yeah? IDK how old you are but keep in mind they're inheriting a dying planet, late stage capitalism, and in general, hopelessness. I'm very securely in the millennial range and we were also shit on heavily when entering the workforce. Be better.
Millennials for the defence of Gen Z gang rise up.
I don’t want Gen Z to kill themselves because they can’t see a future. Protect them at all costs.
We also need them very immediately to vote. We can't count on other millennials, gen x has given up trying and boomers are still voting like it's their job. We need to make sure they vote, IDC who they pick, they just need to be active.
That could very well be depression. I certainly don't like dealing with people when depression is getting the upper hand.
