Communication and attitude are important at work, especially when you are talking to your superiors.
Recently, in a Facebook group KL娱乐站, a Malaysian shared a screenshot of a conversation between herself and her employee who quit the job five minutes before her shift.
For illustration purposes only
Her business commences at 11:30am and on August 7, the said employee only told her that she was taking sick leave at 11:27am due to fever. On the second day, the employee told her that she was on sick leave again, only AFTER she was asked about her attendance on the day.
“Do inform me in advance next time. Under normal circumstances, I would’ve ignored you if you were not sick,” she reminded her employee.
The employee simply responded with an emoji that said “okay”.
The next day, just five minutes before her shift started, the employee told her that she was going to resign, and she did that with a pun.
“It’s raining out there, and the clothes hung on the balcony can’t get dry. I think it’s just like me, who doesn’t want to work anymore.”
In Mandarin, the word “干” means “dry”. In the meantime, it can also refer to the verb “work”. So, in this context, the employee made it clear that she was quitting.
In the caption of her post, the woman expressed her disappointment towards the generation who were born after the year 2000.
“No wonder this generation often gets scolded. Such attitude is giving them a bad perception.”
However, she reiterated that she was not blaming the entire generation who were born after 2000 as not all of them behave in such a manner.
Fellow employers, have you had the experience of working with Gen Zs? What’s your take on the bad perception that the generation often receives?
