Sam Ghelli, 23, was ready to quit her previous job when her manager made an impassioned plea.
"He was like, 'How much do I have to increase your salary to make you stay? I want you to stay here,'" Ghelli said.
But Ghelli, true to the stereotype of a Gen Zer, stuck to her guns. She was determined to leave the job because the culture at the company was no longer working for her. And, ultimately, her Gen X manager did help her out — by helping her find new roles and hopping on the phone with her now-boss.
That might not sound like a typical relationship with a boss you're leaving. Ghelli, a 2022 college graduate, is one of the Gen Zers trying to reshape work.
