Gen Z is recording themselves getting fired in growing TikTok trend
Some Gen Z workers are posting video of themselves being laid off in search of "likes," feedback and revenge.
You're viewing a single thread.
Influencer or not, however, those who stream videos of themselves being fired from their job risk facing repercussions, such as violating severance agreements, the BBC reported. Job termination videos can also backfire on those who post them if viewers find the post vindictive or unprofessional.
"Generally speaking, such moves are a double-edged sword. The literature on whistleblowers, a more extreme form of publicly sharing bad practices, shows that people get stigmatized for doing so," Ben Voyer, an ESCP Business School professor who founded the Gen Z Observatory, told Business Insider in a recent article.
"Generally, society doesn't reward people that engage in behaviors that some may see as a betrayal. Pushing such content online is a way to get moral support on the one hand, and a little revenge on the other hand," he said.
If you're confused about who to blame, remember that one side debates on whether they should purchase a mega yacht, or have a more reasonable "support" yacht trailing the main one for their helicopter/staff.
Not even Millennials see action against your employer as 'betrayal'. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.
Company loyalty when you are getting fired is something really weird. What would it even be based on? I understand parting on good terms etc, but loyalty? There wouldn't be any space for loyalty in such a situation even in feudal contracts.
Pretty sure the betrayal is for future employers that may look you up
You're not reading well. Wrong side.
Not having a problem with something and noting a possible risk aren’t exclusive
Which side the betrayal is being called.
If the majority do it, it can no longer be extreme.
I'm enjoying the generational divide coming from Gen-Z.
Previous generations wanting to avoiding "burning bridges" only served corporate interests.
Workers need stop fearing our corporate overlords. We out number them.
They've manipulated the political process to shattered the social contract and must be held accountable.
I'm still partial to dragging them into the street since it worked quite well a century but this is a good step towards lighting that powder keg.
As a millennial I fucking love gen z

What exactly worked quite well? The USSR and other "socialist" countries worked well only for those outside their territory, acting as some kind of counterbalance, I'll admit that.
What was inside was an even more extreme form of what you call "corporate overlords", because there wasn't even an illusion of choice, your path changing employers would be similar to transferring between places in a military, the new employer would see every shitty thing the previous one decided to write about you, and they wouldn't care what you have to say about that generally.
You seem to have taken this comment in some random direction that is pro-capitalism
I am not going to take the time to go through all the scenarios as to how violent uprisings resulted in the standards or work we have today simply because you can't understand a common idiom.

I understand plenty, miss some, and also there are people not worth understanding.
risk facing repercussions, such as violating severance agreements
oh no, I won't get dick shit, which is exactly what I was going to get anyway. What a gigantic shame
I was watching Wendover's billionaire social calendar last night. They have ships whose sole purpose is to transport their yachts from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean so they don't have to deal with actual transoceanic sailing. Like they literally load the yacht onto the ship like a big cargo rig.
Yeah most people probably already had the double edged sword in their teeth. Shitty professor is out of touch.

The gall to speak like that of somebody publicizing the way one of their contacts with equal sides was terminated. Not even "mutual betrayal", LOL.
It sucks when people think an organization has more rights than a person. If there's a contract between two, then they are on the same level.
CBS News. Viacom. I wonder who benefits from making these threats against these kids.. hmmm
