Gen Z doesn't trust their employers: 'I've come to terms with what adulthood is actually like.'

Employers demonstrated their infidelity to their staff by paying loyal workers, on average, 7% less than new hires — 20 years ago, salaries were largely the same between new and longtime employees.

    Yeah, but there are a ton of boomers and gen x that never got a chance to buy a house. Stack on being a minority, or a woman, and your chances of owning a home back in the good old days were probably worse than now since banks and certain neighborhoods would tell you to get fucked. Things may have been easier for many in different generations, but not for everyone. I’m not discounting that gen z has things worse in a lot of ways, especially work and financial wise. I just don’t think fighting amongst generations is going to help. It’s class warfare.

    Edit: By class warfare I mean basically everyone vs the ultra powerful/wealthy.

      But that’s just it, by not acknowledging it, by acting like we’re all in the same boat, it is being discounted.
