In a viral video that has been viewed more than 658,000 times to date, the “CEO of work-from-home jokes” reenacted a conversation between a manager and a Gen Z employee.
She captioned the clip: “Giving Gen Z feedback.”
“So at work we don’t really do ‘things for the plot’, we do things for the client but not really for the plot,” she said, referring to the phrase ‘do it for the plot’, which means to do something , regardless of the outcome.
She then called out Gen Z employees for discussing too many hot topics in the office.
She added, “Interrupting the meeting to announce that Gypsy Rose’s divorce felt a bit like a false alarm, but I understand why that felt super urgent to you.”
The ex-consultant then teased Gen Z for their love of astrology β especially when it comes to blaming their work performance on the planets.
“So HR informed me that we can’t provide PTO because Mercury is retrograde, but that said, if you’re really not feeling well, you’re more than welcome to use your sick days,” Natalie said.
The content creator also touched on a few quirky habits Gen Z employees have been doing in the office.
People online flooded the comments, praising the comedian for her accuracy when it came to Gen Z employees
‘When you decided to ground yourself in the office and take off your shoes to feel ‘the vibrations of the earth’ beneath you, I thought it was a bit uncomfortable for some of our older partners.
βThe one song you keep singing – ‘When I’m back in Chicago’ – that’s a catchy song. I think timing is everything with that, so if you sing it a lot, maybe let’s go back to about 25 percent of current usage,” she joked.
Finally, Natalie teased another common phrase used by Gen Z workers. The expression ‘high-key’ is used to describe something intense or overt, while the expression ‘low-key’ is used in reference to something more secretive.β
‘If you describe something and say, ‘It’s an important issue,’ does that mean there’s cause for concern? Can you please clarify this so I know when to intervene?’ she said at the end of the video.
People online flooded the comments, praising the comedian for her accuracy when it came to Gen Z employees.
