Season 3 of The Corporate Sellouts Podcast kicks off with a controversial two part topic: Generational differences. In episode 21, we answer the question, are millennials and Gen Z less ambitious than previous generations (Gen X, Baby Boomers, etc)? We take a look at the data, expert opinions, and individuals’ experience regarding generational differences in working styles, and opinion on work and labor in general.

Topics addressed in this episode:

• Overview of each generation and their timelines/characteristics

• What informs how a generation works? Is it what happened to them? Or to their parents and therefore how they were raised? 

• The evolution of mental health in the work place

• Motivations of different generations

  
  

Resources discussed:

• The Age of Anti-Ambition, Noreen Malone (The New York Times, 2022) 

• Generation Disconnected: Data on Gen Z in the Workplace, Ryan Pendell and Sara Vander Helm (Gallup, 2022)

• Generational Differences in the Workplace (Purdue Global, n.d.)
