Those who like to judge have found it easy to brush off Gen Z’ers as “lazy and financially irresponsible.” NYU professor Suzy Welch sees the Gen Z crowd in a completely different light and has great sympathy for the attitudes they’ve developed. Welch says their generational attitude boils down to a belief that they’ve got “no reason to (think) they’ll ever going to have economic security.” In addition, there’s a thought that there’s no point in “climbing the corporate ladder in the midst of an impending environmental crisis,” along with “sky-high student loans, a growing wealth gap, and homeownership becoming a pipedream.” These pessimistic views, given the “lazy” moniker by some, now have some stepping in to have Gen Z’s back.
