The numbers may be a little exaggerated but the overall direction is definitely true. Basically Gen Z are a lot more introvert ( may be not even a correct term to use any more ) than previous gen. And Ghosting is definitely a lot more common. Demand / expectation is also a lot higher, comparatively speaking. I think overall the trend is pretty much the same for at least 40 - 50 years. It is just every generation is a little worst than previous one.

I recently was questioning on why GenZ doesn’t have a proper counterculture (Hippies, Punks, Grunge etc.) and the answers I found is mostly that it happens in fragmented ways online now. But there is no physical place for GenZ to meet up and gel into a coherent offline counterculture.

> It is just every generation is a little worst than previous one. Is it, though? I mean, the blog post reads like a generic smear campaign targeting a whole generation. The telltale sign is that it cherry-picks some click bait sentences, but fails to draw any baseline and comparison. Let's take a look at the survey from another perspective. From the same blog post, it seems they are being subjected to an interview process that is appallingly poor and outright abusive, and GenZs opt to just not entertain those and simply ditch them altogether. If other generations aren't doing that, they seem to not have any self respect whereas GenZ does. The cherry on top: the conclusions mentions "rising salary expectations" as a kind of side note as a requirement to cater GenZs? So the post starts to drag the whole generation through the mud, complaining that the ditch the interview process which is admittedly too stressful to entertain, but out of nowhere the solution is... Offer them a higher salary to convince them to tolerate the process? There's a lot to unpack there, and it's not eye contact and turning on cameras. It's something completely different, that says more about recruiters and their practices than whoever they are hiring.
