The Great Resignation: Gen Z’s Need for Stability, Mentorship, and Tenure

Gen Z — Generation Quit
The pandemic has brought about many changes in the way we live, work, and socialize. Among these changes is a phenomenon that has come to be known as the Great Resignation. Over the last two years, millions of workers, including Gen Z, have been quitting their jobs in record numbers. For the younger members of the workforce, this has meant a lack of mentorship, stability, and tenure at a critical time in their careers.
Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, has already experienced significant setbacks in their entry into the job market. Many of them were the first to be laid off or furloughed during the early days of the pandemic, and others have had to navigate remote work and digital communication in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
As the economy began to recover, and businesses started reopening, it seemed that things might finally be looking up for Gen Z workers. But what followed was a cascade of resignations as many people began to realize that their current jobs no longer offered the stability, mentorship, or opportunities for growth that they needed.
