Without data about what previous generation said to exactly the same questions, at the same age, the conclusions comparing GenZ attitudes to those of prior generations are completely meaningless. Maybe GenX youth and young Boomers before them also thought management was fuddy-duddy. Hippies, hello? It wasn't GenZ that produced the movie Office Space, The Office sitcom or Dilbert. (Speaking of which, exposure to these kinds of cultural artifacts likely plays a role in the GenZ outlook.) For as long as I can remember, corporate management has been ridiculed in popular culture. It's a set of common tropes. A kindergarten kid saying they want to be a middle manager when they grow up can be predicted to be an instant howler.
