The younger generation of workers seems to be under a lot of pressure to prove their worth and earn their rightful place in the workforce. However, having to go through the leadership of older generations isn’t really making it easier, as ‘fragile’ Gen Z workers aren’t coping well with Gen X management encouraging them to ‘toughen up.’
