Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X Burnout. Why they hate working and don't want to do it anymore.
There's a growing perception that Gen Z, Millennials, and even some Gen X often express dissatisfaction with traditional work structures. They frequently cite issues like a lack of work-life balance, feeling undervalued, and a desire for more time flexibility, leading to a perception that they "hate working" compared to older generations.
However, this isn't always accurate as many individuals within these generations still find fulfillment in their careers, but may be more vocal about their concerns regarding workplace conditions.

Key points about the perception that Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X are unhappy at work:
First, Burnout and Mental Health Concerns:
Younger generations are more likely to prioritize mental health and may be quicker to leave jobs that contribute to burnout, leading to a higher job-hopping rate.
Second, Work-Life Balance:
Gen Z and Millennials often value a healthy work-life balance, seeking flexible schedules and remote work options, which can sometimes be perceived as not being fully committed to their jobs.
Third, Meaningful Work:
This generation may be more inclined to seek jobs that align with their personal values and provide a sense of purpose beyond just a paycheck.
Fourth, Technology Impact:
Having grown up with technology, younger generations may expect more streamlined work processes and easy access to information, leading to frustration with outdated systems.
Now, please also bear in mind it is important to note that there are two types of differences.
The First is Generational Differences:
Not all individuals within these generations feel the same way about work, and there is a wide range of attitudes and work ethics within each group.
The Second is Workplace Culture Differences:
The way companies structure their work environment and support employee needs can significantly impact how satisfied employees are, regardless of generation.
But the Baby Boomer Generation says the problem with Gen Z and Millennials is they are lazy and entitled. Are the Boomers correct? Have Gen Z and Millennials no respect for boundaries and authority?
Recently, a woman made a TikTok about the misconception that the younger generations are lazy. She explained the controversial “Millennials and Gen Z don’t want to work anymore” idea. It’s not just about laziness – the rising cost of living and stagnant wages are also to blame.
Which Generation Hates Their Job The Most?
GoodHire published today the findings of a survey that aimed to uncover Americans’ true feelings about work. The company surveyed an equal number of Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Gen-Zers to understand the workplace generational divide.
The survey found some similarities between the four generations—like how 83% of workers (across all generations) would prefer a four-day workweek, the fact that no one is happy with their pay or work-life balance, and that the biggest bother for most is their boss.
The survey also found some stark differences, like what workers in each generation are willing to forfeit to improve their work-life balance. For Gen Z, it’s paid time off; for Millennials and Gen X, it’s a portion of their salary; and for Baby Boomers, it’s growth opportunities.
Key Findings from the Survey
- 57% of Millennials said they are very happy at work, making them the happiest generation.
- 22% of Gen Z said they are either unhappy or hate work, making them the most unhappy generation.
- 60% of Millennials are fulfilled at work, saying they find great meaning and purpose in their jobs.
- 69% of Gen Z is not satisfied with their work-life balance. This age group has the lowest satisfaction rate, followed by Baby Boomers (63%), Gen X (55%), and Millennials (48%).
- Millennials (90%) are most in favor of a 4-day work week.
- Less than half of workers across generations are happy with their pay. Only 30% of Baby Boomers are completely happy with their compensation, followed by Gen Z (32%), Gen X (42%), and Millennials (47%).
- Millennials are happier working remotely (63%), contrary to Baby Boomers, who are the least happy with remote work (37%).
- 46% of Millennials plan to leave their job in the next 12 months.
The world of work and how people view it has changed. Workers regardless of their generation have come to the realization that they want more out of life than simply to work, and this realization has led to an unusual rise in resignation rates.
