Per one “expert” quoted in the article: “Gen Z employees come from a generation that is starkly genuine”. That should tell you all you need to now about the quality of this article.
I’d like to point that “expert” to watch something like The Graduate or read something like “Generation X” - or other novels from Coupland - where his characters agonize over things like McJobs. Ironically, I think Coupland is probably describing what is often called “The Jones Generation”.
The Graduate was before I was born, and Coupland’s work was not something I read until a few years out of college, but both managed to resonate with me.

Also, didn’t the protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye complain a lot about others being fake and so on?
Forget 20th century media, there are Sumerian cuneiform tablets with parents complaining about their kids’ work ethics.
