Gen Z’s work-life balance looks different

Think from KERA

About this episode

We’ve all heard the advice to “do what we love” for our careers, but burnout and low wages make that advice seem like a cruel joke. Journalist Emi Nietfeld joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her disillusionment with her “millennial values” where hard work and dreaming big would pay off in the corporate world why Gen Z doesn’t have a sense of optimism for their futures, and what ambition looks like now. Her article in The New York Times is “Gen Z Fell Out of Love with Work. I Don’t Blame Them.”
