Gen Z workers should be proud of being ‘snowflakes’ rather than martyrs | Hannah Jewell

A new generation of employees is refusing to simply tough out' bad treatment and bad pay. What's so wrong with that?

There's nothing older generations enjoy more than complaining about the young. Their childhoods are too coddled and full of non-dangerous toys, then they get to school where they are not beaten with sticks and therefore do not build character, then they go to university where they bully statues and either have too much or not enough sex.

Now, as millennials have aged into their uncool middle-manager era, and Gen Z enter the workforce, they have inspired a number of books and articles and speeches about how kids these days don't know the value of a hard day's work.
