It's the newest generation to enter the workforce, in their late teens and twenties, but many say they already feel burned out. From fears about AI taking their jobs, to lower pay and clashing values with older colleagues, we hear what’s driving Gen Z’s discontent in the workplace, speak to the bosses trying a new approach, and get tips on how to recruit and keep them. Produced by Sam Gruet Presented by Megan Lawton (Image: A young person looking tired and stressed out. Credit: Getty Images)
