Hi Zee. How good are you at taking vacation?
I know, it sounds like a silly question, but seriously. Are you actually comfortable completely disconnecting from work? Or do you remain somewhat "available" to potential fires, answering Slack messages from a beach chair while pretending you’re relaxing?
Hi Zee. Is working 9 - 5 really your worst nightmare?
I see this is a bit of a social trend right now. Young people sharing videos about how the thought of spending decades working a traditional 9-to-5 is really ruining their 5-9.
Hi Zee. Tell me, just how much of a jerk is your boss?
Do they micromanage and send emails at 11:43 PM? Schedule meetings that could have been a Slack message? Ask for your thoughts and then ignore them completely? I've met that boss. Truthfully, I've probably been that boss.
Hi Zee. Ever notice that ‘look’ that Boomers give you?
I think perhaps the divide between generations is most visible between Boomers and Gen Z, and I think it’s important to understand why.
Hi Zee. Where were you when the government told you 'stay home'?
You were the generation who learned the world as we know it can stop overnight.
Hi Zee. Did you know your brain wasn't built for this tech world?
You inherited a world of permanent stimulation, endless information and always-on work. While very convenient, it's also kind of crappy.
Hi Zee. What kind of side gigs do you have?
You seem to have pivoted to a career lattice and now you're building a life that says 'screw the corporate ladder'.
Hi Zee. Just curious, did applying for your last job really suck?
I was looking for a full-time job before starting MatterBetter and it was a pretty demoralizing process.
Hi Zee. Allow me to introduce myself.
Since this isn't a problem we can figure out overnight, I should explain why you should listen to me all.
Hi Zee. Welcome to adulting.
You've inherited a dumpster fire of a work world where we're all still pretending the systems make sense. Let's chat about it.
