"Typically defined as anyone born between 1997 and 2015, Gen Z will soon make up a third of the workforce. What we want is quite simple, and our "demands" will benefit not only us but also change the workplace for the better."

LTC Eugene Chu Good to Hear they Have Morals and Values, Unlike Many from My Generation that Have Embraced Right Wing Dogma!

Don't forget Left Wing Dogma either!
Be an independent thinker!! Those that believe in conservative values are not evil just like those that believe in liberal values aren't.
People that become partisan zealots for their beliefs and aren't willing to entertain anything that doesn't agree with their 'TRUTH' .. those are the ones that have trouble with morals and values.

I don't dream of labor. I will take breaks when I need and want to.
• Nothing wrong with that - however when "you need and want to" become so frequent or long to start interfering with the operations of the business .. then you're living up to the trope of a Gen Z.
I won't be dedicating my whole life to a company and will not hesitate to leave for better opportunities.
• Agree. Neither should you expect that to be a one-way street (doesn't sound like she does). If the company sees another that can do your job better, cheaper, or with less angst - there's the door!
I'm not trying to be rude or unprofessional by forgoing corporate jargon, I just think it's a waste of time.
• She has a good point here. Clear and concise communications are always good.
Bonus comment:
Unlike Gen X, where working hard and earning an honest living was enough to make the dream of housing within reach, it's virtually impossible for Millennials and Gen Z to own property without racking up substantial debt.
• No, unlike Gen X who had an attitude of working and saving for the future, Gen Z has a reputation (deservedly?) that you want what other's have saved for RIGHT NOW. My personal observation has been that when I got out of high school, I saw what my parents had (house, savings, car, etc) and said to myself that I wanted that so I better get a good job, work, live within my means and save. On the otherhand, a Gen Z leaving high school will often hold out the left and right hands saying "Ok, I'm entitled to a car and house .. where are they?"

May Reena find a job whose culture meets her wants and needs. Otherwise welcome to adulting, where life is a series of compromises between what you want and what you're willing to do
