GenZ Intern's Demand Of Rs 50k For Working 5 Hours Sparks Debate Online
She further said that the intern was not interested in working with an MNC as he didn't like the work culture and preferred working with a startup.
Maintaining a work-life balance in today's world of demanding work culture is difficult. Employees in the corporate world have to work 8-9 hours six days a week, and if the travel time between office and home is added it leaves them with little time for themselves. But this GenZ intern has his goals clear. In a Twitter post Sameera Khan, the Director of People Success at Infeedo talked about her experience of interviewing this intern, who doesn’t wish to work for more than 5 hours a day and also wants a stipend between Rs 40,000-50,000.
Her post has sparked a debate on Twitter about the work-life balance.
“I was interviewing a GenZ intern today and he says he is looking for work-life balance with not more than 5 hours of work," stated Sameera.
She further said that the intern was not interested in working with an MNC as he didn't like the work culture and preferred working with a startup.
"Doesn't like the MNC culture so wants to work at a startup. Also, wants a 40-50k stipend. God bless the future of work," Sameera's Twitter post further read.

"I hire genz every quarter and they can’t take pressure at all but do expect a huge amount of money. They are creative but they are talking jobs for granted. There are many companies hiring right now but hiring will also come to a pause soon plus the freelancer GENZ are another challenge . They make a great amount of money which most jobs won’t pay they at their age but again when it comes to delivery they can’t adjust to revisions , feedback because feedback are ego hurting to them. It’s like I am the best take this ✌🏻. Startups & companies should just put a stop to this," wrote a fourth.
