This is how Gen Z is rewriting the parenting playbook at work

Let me set a scene for you: A manager at a tech company pings his team at 6:01 p.m., asking for a “quick favor before morning?”

The millennial responds instantly with “Sure, give me a sec” while texting their partner to warn they will be late for their kids’ game.

The Gen X employee gives a thumbs-up emoji and plans to do the work after the kids are asleep.

The Gen Z parent has a different vibe altogether, responding, “I’m offline for day care pickup and will handle in the morning,” then logging off.
