Every generation has its share of workplace stereotypes. Gen Xers are supposedly hopeless with technology. Restless millennials bounce between jobs and set egregious boundaries while spending too much money on avocado toast at lunch. And Gen Z? According to popular myth, they have minimal work ethic and maximum attitude.
A few minutes in conversation with any generation can prove these misconceptions false—especially a chat with rising Gen Z entrepreneurs. At Power Play, Marie Claire's annual event celebrating ambitious women, three Gen Z women candidly set the record straight in a panel presented by Aerie about their approach to work. Not only are they raising millions and breaking boundaries in their respective fields, but they're also finding ways to bring their entire selves to work.
