I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I’ve been managing this department, the only people I’ve lost have been from Gen Z. Clearly I do not know how to manage Gen Z so that they are happy working here. What can I do? I want them to be as happy as my Millennial team members. One detail that might matter is that my team is spread over three European cities.
Happy to provide any clarification if anyone wants it.
I did. I fought with my CEO for two months and got everyone in the department except me a massive raise, 15%-20%.
FYI, it’s entirely possible that they’ve been undervalued so much even that’s not enough.
I would need a 70% raise to be at market average for my position. Needless to say I’m interviewing.
