WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Gen Z Workers Are Cozying Up to Corporate Jobs · 13 Sep 2024 podcast

Absolutely.

And it ebbs and flows depending on what's going on in the world.

You know, there's times of the year where work talk is very quit your job, be your own boss, become an entrepreneur.

And there's times of the year where people are like, you know what, actually, I like coming to work every day, putting on a cute little outfit and putting a smile on and interacting with people.

So for some time now, there's a popular format of people posting.

who post videos called Come With Me to My 9 to 5, and they just document their 9 to 5.

That's commuting to work, drinking their coffee, eating their lunch, typing at work, presentations, whatever they might do in their job.

And it looks really mundane and silly, but it's also what a huge chunk of Americans do every day.

So according to live data technologies, which is like an employment and job research provider, Gen Z workers are staying at a company 18% longer than millennials did in the first seven years of their job.

So that's quite a bit of people who are deciding to stay and embrace their corporate life.

So I can imagine also that these numbers might continue to change and increase if the economy continues where it's going.

So what many bosses are learning is that so many younger workers want a purpose with what their job does, even if it's a so-called lazy girl job.

They want to feel some meaningful work.

that they come in every day and they do something great.

So that's one thing that managers are looking into is like, how can we better sell this job to people?

And then, of course, the benefits and not just a traditional 401k, but also mental health days or things like summer Fridays, these little things that help people appreciate their job and feel like they are being cared for by their employers.

Many of us during the pandemic, we were stuck at home, no human interaction.

If you lived alone or very little, if you lived with your spouse and family, a lot of young workers grew up and graduated into that world.

And it seemed fun at first to get to work from home, but many of them are craving that in-person interaction, whether they make lifelong friends with their coworkers or whether it's just talking to someone every day.

I spoke to a man in his late 20s who lives in Dallas, and he was part of the corporate world and then decided to quit, join a startup.
