  • What motivates our Gen Zers at work
  • How these Gen Zers like to be communicated with
  • The things that annoy these Gen Zers in the workplace
  • What brings them joy at work
  • What other generations can do to help Gen Z employees bring their best selves to work

In this episode’s listener question, we’re asked how to help a bad boss change their leadership style if they’re not open to feedback or suggestions. In the news, a cocktail server is bringing a lawsuit against her former employer after they terminated her for not wearing high heels to work, despite her request for accommodation due to plantar fasciitis.
