Gen Z isn’t losing jobs because of their résumés. They’re losing them because of a translation gap 🗣️
In one survey of nearly 1,000 hiring managers, 6 out of 10 had already fired a recent grad they’d hired that same year. Poor communication was one of the top reasons.
But here’s what nobody’s saying: this generation learned to communicate through screens first. They’re fluent in texts, DMs and group chats. Then they walk into an office that runs on a completely different language. That’s not a character flaw. It’s a skills gap, and skills can be taught.
The good news? 9 out of 10 hiring managers agreed training can fix it.
So I want to hear from both sides 👇
If you’re Gen Z: what’s the most confusing unwritten rule at work?
If you manage Gen Z: what’s the one thing you wish they knew on day one?
Send this to someone starting new to the workforce💜

Every generation arrives at work speaking its own dialect. The leader's job was never to judge the accent — it was to build the translator.
