I like to work. What drove me up the wall at my last job was the GenZ workers who did ALMOST NOTHING. and HAD TO BE TOLD What TO DO over and OVER AND OVER and they STILL DIDNT DO IT.
If I am a CEO, and I have to tell ANYONE to do something three times and they still don't do it. THAT PERSON IS FUCKING FIRED THATS THE RULE.
I had a CEO who seemed to have unlimited tolerance for these people, up to the point of almost doing all the work for them. I finally had enough. I was doing 10 people's jobs and got so exhausted while these GenZ people just did nothing and got away with it.
I have since learned the cure is sand bagging and ghosting. Like you have to learn to inject "pauses." Make your boss wait a day or two. It is self preservation.
In music there is a "rest" concept in a rhythm. You are smart to learn to use "rests" as part of your work cadence and to develop a sense of how to get away with delays properly. Its better for everyone.
Rests / pauses in the work stream are necessary and important, allow space to think.
