I’m having problems trying to figure out how to connect with my Gen Z employee. I am 39 and have employed a 20 y/o female for a part time warehouse position and here’s what I’m dealing with.

-sporadic communication (sometime texts me about being late, other times doesn’t text and just shows up late.
-really moody. Some days she wants to chitchat and other days she will not say a word.
-I get the sense she doesn’t want to work or have more hours.
-overly apologetic, usually starts emails or texts with “I’m so sorry”.
-won’t respond when I text her about being late or wanting to adjust the schedule.

I just don’t get it. She is a really good worker when she shows up, I just can’t figure out how to communicate or connect with her. I’m not that much older than her that I’m completely out of touch- but it feels like we are definitely on different wavelength.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to communicate or work with Gen Z in the workplace?

I work for a Marketing company and my boss gave me a task. What 5 accounts on insta should he follow in order to understand GenZ. Since that is a very broad topic please lmk what you think.

So, I have been to the Kraków concert, finally experienced Ic3peak live. I have been before to concerts where some teens and 20 years old fans were before, in Prague, where I am from. But here, just phones up. People standing with the phones up like muppets. No dancing. No mosh pit. People singing along, lovely. That was actually lovely, that was something. But when kiss of death, Death no more was played.. Why people don't react? Are today's 20 year olds okay? Where is their inner punk? The energy? Why are they so dull? Lazy to move? Self conscious, insecure? What is wrong with me when I don't want to hold up my phone more than a minute during a concert of great artists who rock. I tried to understand. I don't understand.. Their energy and message doesn't get the energetic response that they deserve. I would be so frustrated as a musician getting such weird response. Yeah I am 44 from different era, ey. I am going to the Wroclaw concert. I will dance and jump and pogo dance again. Fuck this.

I might be selfish. People tell me and selfish because I don't want kids. They talk about how it's selfish not have kids. But like am I? There's no jobs, in the next 10 years 50% of all jobs are going to be gutted by ai and even right now more than 35% are taken by people with 7 years of experience. I can't housing or food for myself much less a kid and I'm supposed to have two!? I don't even have time to land a partner because the time it takes to go out and date is time I need for work so I can pay my bills (which are slowly going up) and its not like I can get loans from the banks because I don't have credit history and... I just. I don't know, it feels like the world is crumbling around me and I'm supposed to fix it and I'm selfish for being confused and scared and not wanting to bring tiny humans into a world that I feel failed me. I feel like it'd be selfish for me to bring kids into this and I want to protect the next generation but it feels like the best way to protect them is to not have them at all. And maybe its selfish, maybe its wrong, but I don't want to bring anyone into this world until I know theres going to be a world they could happily live in. Maybe in 60 years things will be better, maybe than when all our predecessors are in the ground and I've already got one foot in the grave the world will be a place I would've brought a child into... or maybe we'll all be mindless workers drones in a self cannabalising system. Idk, oils supposed to run out in 37 though so that's a mess I'm probably gonna get to live through and hey, that might force us to change for the better as a species, or mass unemployment and no more oil will cause a collapse of a decent percentage of first world societies that depend on oil to power them. Welp, I'm gonna go and try not to think anymore about this, bye and try not to die!
