Add this to the other link that states " This ‘rising tide’ of mental health issues is, I fear, largely driven by self-diagnosis and social media "
It does seems that Gen Z's are getting a lot of stick right now that's for sure. |
One day’s sick leave a week? Sounds like a good wheeze.
I think most employers wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.

The non-attendance at interviews thing is interesting. Would be intriguing to see the underlying dataset for it. My guess would be websites with individuals applying for roles on and industrial scale (via a recruitment website) then only considering the ones that offer an interview. A bit like swiping yes to everyone on tinder and vetting the matches.
A comparison with the non-attendance figure for more traditional recruitment methods - direct contact with the employer at an early stage, perhaps dealing with a named person (the recruiting manager or someone in HR) I suspect would be revealing.
Blaming social media for that outcome is just jumping on a useful bandwagon.

What’s in it for them? So the employer should be thanking employees now for the courtesy of even applying for a job? Talk about perverse! The money is what’s in it for them, that’s what!
As for your zero hours contracts comment, that’s a matter of individual choice. If you don’t want insecurity of hours allocated to you, go for a permanent contract offering a basic wage or salary. Zero hours contracts are for people who want flexibility of their working hours.
