The Gen Z being ‘lazy workers’ new debate erupts

A debate on Good Morning Britain ensued over whether Gen Z workers are lazy, sparked by actress Jodie Foster’s comment branding them “really annoying” to work with. A poll on the show revealed 64.8% of viewers consider the younger generation lazy. Journalist Nina Myskow, citing Foster’s point, attributes their work ethic to being “mollycoddled,” suggesting adversity fosters resilience and a strong work ethic.
