🎙️ Gen Z Has Left the Chat: Why Work Ethic Isn’t What It Used to Be

J&B Live Podcast

🚨 The generational debate you didn’t know you needed is HERE. On this episode of J&B Live Podcast, your favorite duo—Broker J3 and the brilliant, beautiful Dr. B—take the gloves off and go head-to-head with the ever-evolving topic of:

👉🏽 Is Gen Z lazy... or are they leading a work-life revolution?

📉 From clock-punching Boomers to boundary-setting Gen Zers, we’re putting EVERY generation under the microscope. This episode is a full breakdown of how expectations, values, and hustle culture have shifted—and why this conversation is triggering folks across all age groups.

🧠 What We’re Talking About in This Episode:

🔹 The Generational Divide – Are Baby Boomers and Gen X just salty? Or did Gen Z really "leave the chat" when it comes to work ethic?

🔹 Real-World Gen Z Workplace Scenarios –

💼 A Gen Z worker quits after 90 days due to “no remote Fridays”

🛌 Another passes on a job because there’s no nap room

📲 Is this entitlement… or a new definition of freedom?

🔹 Quiet Quitting vs. Setting Boundaries –

Are younger workers disengaging—or finally saying “no” to hustle culture abuse?

🔹 Mental Health in the Workplace –

Gen Z is unapologetically putting therapy on their calendars, while Boomers were told to “walk it off.”

🔹 The Influence of Tech –

From influencers and coders to freelancers and crypto hustlers, this generation is rewriting the income playbook 💻💰

🔹 Audience Scenarios & LIVE Reactions –

We asked our followers and got flooded with hot takes and 🔥 opinions.

“Is a nap room a basic human right… or corporate fantasy?”

“If a job doesn’t align with your ‘vibe,’ should you bounce?”

💬 LIVE Viewer Comments That Had Us Yellin':

🗣️ @OG_Millennial: “If I quit every time a job didn’t ‘align,’ I’d still be unemployed.”

🗣️ @ZGenerationZ: “I took a mental health leave and came back BETTER. Don’t knock Gen Z until you understand Gen Z.”

🗣️ @HardWorkHarry: “Y’all want therapy, nap pods, AND 6-figure salaries by 22. Nah.”
