Most first-time workers get a promotion within 3 years. Gen Z wants theirs right away.
The latest batch of Gen Z workers want—nay, expect—to earn their first promotion within one year on the job.

Gen z don’t have workload or work ethic. They have workload and wokeethic!!!!
Most of us GenZ prefer to live in the north / midwest or out west. Never the south. The south is by far the most racist part of this country. So no way we are going to work at the Tennessee complex.
Most of us (gen z) don’t aspire to work up the ladder into management at Ford. It is clear that one will loose any and all technical expertise the higher up you go here. It is also evident that at Ford you must ignore major issues at the management level, or risk being scapegoated, just to get products out the door which I cannot stand.
The gen z are the poster children for Ford all about woke.
@1bze cracks me up.
What I have observed is the boomers collaborated to automate tasks. They initiated efforts to create software to do the work they were trained to do with slide rules by the silent generation and early boomers. Of course if you aren’t doing things manually you are expected to do more and be more productive. Of course there might be some deadwood old boomers still doing everything by pencil, but those are the people Ford should have fired 40 years ago, and everyone knew it then just as everyone knows it now.
Stop gritching and write software bridges that meld the packages together and simplify your work life. If you don’t have the skills make friends with people who do. Many IT savvy people have hacked the Ford tools so they spend 15 minutes doing what their coworkers spend hours/days doing. Your choice be the equivalent of a pencil pusher or build your skills.
These Gen Zs are clueless. They'll never own cars - let alone houses.
Keep your promotions and fancy titles. I just want more money, less bureaucracy, and a LL that can make a decision and give direction.
Many engineers these days do more work with less people than the golden age of the boomer, but yet we are paid, when adjusted for inflation, FAR BELOW what engineers in this town made 20 years ago.
Look at any job posting these days and note all the hats everyone is expected to wear. One must have knowledge in so many different productivity software packages just to keep up with the day to day workload.
Meanwhile, the few late boomers I see around are still printing out PDFs and scribbling down notes on presentation hard copies during their meetings. The early to mid Gen-Xers are finding compromise by hiring a complacent Gen-Zer that is willing to set up their meetings, create/track agendas, and do all the documentation.
Yeah, but all these GenZ believe that bl@ck l1ves m@tter and they believe the #metoo movement...
It’s like when they get a job at McDonald’s they want be the manager on day 1. Ding ding….fries are ready …fool
