Gen Z is sick of being told they’re “lazy” and “entitled.” They’re upending how the workplace has run for decades under baby boomer leadership—and their elders could learn a thing or two. The newest cohort of workers grew up with the classic instructions of the American Dream: go to college, do unpaid internships, then catapult into a job with a living wage.

So the young workers are adopting a new way of work—and baby boomers are bewildered. Gen Z is engaging in five behavior trends that are contrary to baby boomer’s way of work.

If tailgating, too-bright headlights, and excessive honking wasn’t enough, here’s a new irritant for all you drivers out there: advertising that pops up inside your car—and seemingly can’t be eliminated.

Unlike other billionaire families, Asia’s richest dynasty is letting its heirs decide their own paths to the C-suite. The Ambani empire is worth more than $90.5 billion, a fortune amassed courtesy of Reliance Industries, which owns the world’s largest oil refining complex.
