A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

For one of my friends, who I respect greatly, it means coming to terms with the fact that it's not plausible for them to get a job that they're passionate, in their field of study. They have less identity based attachment to the job they do have, and whilst they do generally like their job, they see it as a means to an end.

They know they probably could find a better job, perhaps even one in their field, but they're happy with the balance of priorities they have now because it's mostly working.
