Why Gen-Z is unwilling to exceed expectations without a corresponding salary – News

The rise of Gen-Z and their new approach to work can be summarized in the trend of wage theft, which is actually more about maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Rather than focusing on fast-paced work and going ‘above and beyond’ without proper compensation, many are practicing slow quitting, which involves only doing what they were hired to do and not sacrificing personal time for work. The Great Resignation of 2021 saw a shift towards valuing personal time over work, especially for those who were able to work from home and found increased efficiency and productivity in doing so. This shift has led to the emergence of working models like slow and slow quitting that encourage a more balanced approach to work.

The slow movement, which advocates for a reduction in the pace of modern life, has gained popularity as a way to prioritize emotional connections and personal time over work and new experiences. However, the cost of slowing down work can be prohibitive for many, leading to criticism of these movements as elitist or out of touch with the realities of work and financial obligations. Slow quitting takes this concept further by focusing only on essential job tasks and rejecting the culture of overwork that has dominated previous generations.

In China, a similar movement known as Tang Ping has emerged as a response to the 996 working hour system, which requires employees to work long hours six days a week. Tang Ping, or ‘lying flat,’ is a growing counterculture that rejects the pressure to constantly work and achieve professional success. This movement reflects a global trend towards reevaluating the value of work and prioritizing personal well-being over career advancement. As more people, including Gen-Z, embrace these alternative working models, the traditional ideas of success and productivity are being challenged.

Overall, the shift towards a more balanced approach to work and life is a positive development that allows individuals to prioritize their personal well-being and relationships. By rejecting the culture of overwork and focusing on essential tasks, people can avoid burnout and cultivate a healthier work-life balance. Adopting working models like slow and slow quitting, as well as movements like Tang Ping, can help individuals reevaluate their priorities and find greater fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.Ultimately, the trend towards wage theft and slow quitting reflects a broader societal shift towards valuing personal well-being and emotional connections over the relentless pursuit of career success. As more people, including Gen-Z, embrace these alternative approaches to work, the traditional notions of productivity and success are being redefined. By prioritizing a healthy work-life balance and rejecting the culture of overwork, individuals can create a more fulfilling and sustainable way of life.
