On What’s Your Work Fit we ask a viewer’s question: why doesn’t my boss get Gen Z?
This week, work futurist and LinkedIn top voice for Gen Z Danielle Farage and the founder and CEO of BRANDthrō Billee Howard answer this and other questions.
Why doesn’t [my boss] get Gen Z? According to Danielle, it is because Gen Zers don’t live to work. “We’re working to live.”
In this episode, we ask Danielle and Billee:
- Why doesn’t my boss get Gen Z?
- What’s wrong with Goldman Sachs’ Gen Z-targeted recruitment ads? (Click here to view the ad discussed.)

- What’s your work fit?
Why Doesn’t My Boss Get Gen Z? Billee adds that “these are fractured times, and we’re seeing a reversal of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.”
