Generation-Z young people who just can’t handle the horrible ordeal of…
getting up to go to work in the morning…
are presenting a growing challenge for employers.
“They’re inherently unemployable,” sighed relationship expert Julie Nise. “A business owner has to focus on the health and success of the business and these people are in direct conflict with that objective. You’d be crazy to hire people like that.”
The problem is known as “Sunday Scaries,” a Sunday night dread of going to work on Monday so severe it becomes debilitating.
“‘Sunday Scaries?’ To me that sounds like the title of a children’s book. A grownup would not have ‘Sunday Scaries.’”
A new survey by resume.io details the horrible terrible scary impact of young workers struggling with scary Sunday Scaries as they suffer through the terrifying dreadful prospect of having to go to work on Monday.
Unlike previous generations, Nise says today’s young people are uniquely focused on their own comfort and their feelings instead of on work.
Gen-Z-ers were starkly more likely to report their job negatively impacts their mental health, a whopping 71 percent, versus only 45 percent of millennials and 27 percent of Boomers.
More than 20 percent of Gen-Zers surveyed report actually quitting over their emotional issues with working.
Nise says there is hope to fix the problem, for those young people interested in trying.
“If someone were to suddenly get a dose of self awareness, you could look around at people who are successful and model or copy them,” she suggested. “There are also gobs of books, podcasts, lectures, and other means of educating yourself. It’s not that hard.”
