It’s feeling like too much 🥴
Gen Z is stepping into the workforce with more anxiety than any generation before them. Raised on screens, navigating economic instability, and rejecting burnout culture, they’re bringing new expectations to the workplace—ones that challenge traditional norms.

Some call it entitlement. Others call it evolution. Either way you look at it, work as we know it is changing.
Nearly 50% of Gen Z employees feel stressed a lot of the day.
68% say their mental health impacts their ability to work effectively.
More than half say rigid office cultures are a dealbreaker.
They want flexibility, psychological safety, and a clear sense of purpose—not just a paycheck. Companies that don’t adapt risk losing the next generation of talent.
So, what’s driving Gen Z’s workplace anxiety? And how can companies create an environment where they thrive?
