The gen z stare. I like that. I think ive seen it a few times too but just figured they had a bad day. But its maybe something much bigger. A desire to not be a slave to the system.
I’m not going to listen to a CEO for cultural leading for any-fucking-thing. That entire article is down-talking self-righteous gobshit.
My guess is that Gen Z doesn’t want to work within an abusive and coercive labor market. And they are stuck with it for now. If you can’t deal with someone looking at you while waiting for you to not be a dumbass then don’t leave the house.
Or that is why I don’t.
What a load of horse rubbish… How dare GenZ value their life and joy over achievements and success in their work??
Yeah, you go Zoomers! Show the old moronic farts. You do what my generation (genx) never dared to, or, worse, never aspired to even think about.

As a genXer, I was an unaspiring lazy worker doing bare minimum before they had a fancy name for it
I’m pretty sure the term “slacker“ was around in the 70s when I was born…
Whatever
Exceptions did occur, you lazy old fart 😉
100%.
I know this look. It’s the one I do when I’m trying to not give away that I realised someone really senior is a dribbling moron.
GenZ stare? You mean millennial stare?
But honestly, that isn’t unique, they’re hiring people for basic job with basic pay and work them to the bone, yet expecting to attract achiever? There’s just not many achiever willing to stay put for long, because, like the name suggest, they want to achieve better.
What a load of cock. “Kids these days value a good life instead of achieving things in business like real people do. It’ll bite them in the ass, you mark my words!”
Here’s why: AI is reshaping the labor market. Official employment numbers might look steady, but anecdotally, the job market feels different, especially for early-career workers. It’s shifting from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market, and employers are noticing.
Is… Is this written as if employers are the ones selling? As if they’re the one’s “producing” jobs for people to “buy”?
Wtf!
Well yeah. Companies are creating jobs that consumers needs to “buy” (with their life/time/skills) so they can pay their bills.
Except that companies are the one’s literally purchasing labor.
Framing it the other way around paints a world where a corporation is doing individual humans a favor merely by existing. When in reality, it is being enabled by workers providing their labor. At least for now.
It’s a trade. Where one side is providing the literal time people have on this earth, and the other is a corporation that produces whatever it produces. Or consumes, even.
The latter should literally never be the one with an advantageous position. It exists to server human interests, not itself. It simply can’t be worth more than the actual lives of people.
And before you go “sure it can be” I’m not talking about how capitalism turns everything into market-defined value.
The way the author of the article thinks about this stuff is not just out of touch. It’s sickening. And people like them are why modern society regularly tramples over real lives for the benefit of imaginary value.
I looked up some photos of it and I can’t find any pattern. For any particular photo, I’ve seen people give each other a similar look across all age groups
Its more of an attitude than a stare I think. A few days ago i went into Bauhaus to get some stuff and the gen z people in customer support was so bored out of their minds. They hated being alive and doing stupid trivial shit to help customers like me. I understand it. Pay is probably awful and they waste their best days of their lives sitting in that place working for a corporation.
I kind of like the attitude they have.
That attitude isn’t new. It’s existed for decades in those types of roles. The difference is that Gen Z doesn’t give a shit about hiding it anymore, regardless of what management wants.
I love it.
Damn gippity really has come a long way it sounds almost human
Is that what us OGs’re calling it? “Ol’ Jippity”? Like, “No gawdamn Jippity’ll drive my car!”, etc? 😜
And so it rolls on with newer generations being assessed by dumbasses that would be the modern village idiots. This happens each decade 50s to 60s. 60s to 70s and so on. EVERY time.

It’s weird never seen a Gen Z give me the “stare” I wonder why? Oh it must be the kids who are wrong!
Glad to see the bullshit rolls to the next generation. Woo!
