For example, are law firms now giving more attention to work-life balance and mental health? Have they stopped exploitative practices? Are firms appointing DEI practices and training, so that people are sensitised towards problems like microaggressions, misgendering through wrong pronouns, patriarchy, caste etc?

Gen zs are A0s and A1s. They don't have any clout or authority to change/ influence anything. Also Gen z is not a homogeneous entity, every individual is different having their own circumstances. For those from humble backgrounds who may have dependent family members, or unpaid loans, retaining a high paying job might be the priority over work life balance. Not everyone is coming from generational privilege to virtue signal from an ivory tower.

I usually refrain from saying things that might hurt someone, but this GenZ narrative is just blood-boiling at this point. What kind of pleasure do people derive from these generational labels? I used to wonder who reads and believes in the crappy "GenZ did this, Millennials did that" articles, but apparently people do believe in that nonsense.

For your information, back in 2021, sociologists sent a letter to Pew Research Center saying to stop using these labels imagine the gravity of the situation when a field like sociology comes out and says this is crap. GenZ, Millennials this is all just a marketing gimmick, nothing else. Imagine saying people born between 1997 and 2009 share similar qualities. It's such a stupid statement. We completely ignore their culture, parents' income, and environment, and give them this blanket label.

As for companies bringing change, tell me how many have actually brought meaningful changes? And let's talk about this whole DEI training and pronouns business this is about as Western as it gets. We're importing American corporate buzzwords while actual problems in Indian law firms remain unaddressed. Talk about caste discrimination, brutal 80-hour work weeks, toxic hierarchies, gender bias, and harassment these are the real issues. But no, firms would rather run workshops on microaggressions and pronouns to look progressive while the exploitative practices continue unchanged. It's performative nonsense that lets them claim they're "woke" without fixing anything substantial.

It's like the "go woke, go broke" narrative where people point to Budweiser and conveniently forget Nike, Apple, and other giants.

Lastly, we are not special. We haven't brought meaningful change to this world, so the chest-thumping doesn't make any sense. And calling ourselves "digital natives" do you even know how the internet works? Using Instagram, X, and Facebook doesn't make you a digital native.

For the love of God, stop consuming crap on the internet. Before you say "go away Millennial," I'm a "GenZ".
