Gen Z Founders Reshape Workplace with Flexible Hours, Flatter Hierarchies

Gen Z founders are introducing flexible policies like "slump hour" and siestas because they believe 9-to-5 workdays don't align with human attention spans and productivity.

Gen Z feels they are "wired differently" due to growing up constantly connected online, so traditional corporate structures don't work for them.

Gen Z founders are flattening hierarchies, having casual one-on-ones with employees, and scrapping the concept of a corporate ladder.

Transparency about layoffs on social media has disillusioned Gen Z about careers at big corporations.

Gen Z founders warn against stereotyping their generation as lazy and lacking direction, since life milestones differ greatly even within the 14-27 age range.
