To some, it seems that kids these days just don’t want to work. 

Australian Gen Z’s have been labelled as ‘arrogant’ by recruiter Tammie Christofis Ballis from Realistic Careers, saying their expectations are leaving a “bad taste” in bosses’ mouths. 

Ballis claims kids have told her they won’t get out of bed for anything less than $100,000. 

Jane Lowney, Senior Director of Robert Walters Brisbane, told Mike Hosking that the belief is a little bit harsh. 

She says that when they surveyed 5000 workers across Australia and New Zealand, the sentiment was broadly the same regardless of the way you sliced it. 

“I think the whole workforce is looking for things that are, you know, pretty aligned: salary, career progression, work-life balance.”
