‘Maza Nahi Aa Raha': This ROFL Video Perfectly Sums Up Gen Z's Corporate Mindset
Last Updated: RJ Megha quipped that while corporate bosses drained their employees for years, Gen Z managed to return the favour in just one. Gen Z's approach to corporate life is anything but ordinary, and it is leaving people amused, confused and very curious. From setting unapologetic boundaries to disappearing without notice, their work habits are now being hilariously summed up in a video shared by RJ Megha in an Instagram video. The video opened with her saying, 'Gen Z ka janam hua hai corporate waalo ko sudharne ke liye. Gen Z at work is my favourite genre (Gen Z was born to reform the corporate world. Watching them at work is pure entertainment)." Megha joked that while corporate bosses drained employees for years, Gen Z returned the favour in just one year. 'Corporate walon ne jitna khoon choosa hai, Gen Z ne unka ek saal mein chus liya hai (The way corporate sucked the life out of others for years, Gen Z managed to drain it all back in just one)," she said. One of the most talked-about parts is how Gen Z doesn't even bother to resign; they just stop showing up. 'Ye resign bhi nahi dalte, Monday se chup chaap office aana bandh kar dete hai… choomantar, gayab. (They don't formally quit. They simply disappear one Monday. No calls, no emails. Just like that, gone)," she explained. The old culture of working beyond hours for 'impression" is also something they just do not consider and throw it out the window. 'Unke mu par 6 baje hi ek invisible board ajata hai – Unavailable" (By 6 PM, an imaginary Unavailable sign appears on their faces)," she jokingly said. And if HR asks them why they are leaving? The answer is often as simple as, 'Maza nahi aa raha" (I'm not enjoying this)." She ends the video by calling Gen Z 'bhagwan ka avatar" God's own messengers) who have arrived to end the toxic work culture. The caption Megha shared along with the video reads: 'Baap ka, Dada ka sabka badla lega GenZ." Watch Here: Megha's playful video has received more than seven million views. The comments section is filled with a variety of reactions where people share similar scenarios. One user commented, 'Not the slavery mindset. Lot to learn from the folks." Another recalled, 'Manager tried to bash a Gen Z to overtime for some important work. His reply — 'Itna hi important hai to aap khud kyu nahi kar lete?'" 'I left a job literally saying the same — maza nahi aaya," someone else shared And a Millennial proudly said, 'I LOVE GEN Z!! We millennials couldn't do it! You did it! So proud of you!" The video puts a spotlight on the trend that these young employees have embraced, which is something called 'career catfishing." A report by CVGenius explains this as a growing pattern where Gen Z workers accept job offers but then quietly skip their first day without informing the employer.

Gen Z adults more likely to host teddy bear's picnics than actual kids amid Jellycat and Labubu craze
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GEN Z are more likely to host a tea party for their cuddly toys than actual children according to a recent survey. 'Plushie parties' are surging in popularity amongst grown-ups as Jellycat and Labubu push record sales. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Young adults are more likely to host 'plushie parties' than primary school kids 2 Gen Z are even using amusable food Jellycat toys to mimic picnic items Credit: Elly It comes as a whopping 72% of under-28s said they wanted to throw a bash for their stuffed toys – compared to just 69% of five to 10-year-olds. In fact, over a quarter (26%) of Gen Z openly admitted to hosting their own teddy bear picnics, with 85% of those inviting their grown-up pals to come along. Meanwhile, a shameless 41% admitted the events are purely designed to be flogged on social media. AO, which surveyed 1,000 Gen Zers and 1,000 kids aged five to ten on their love for stuffed-animals, found young adults are putting their own spin on the nursery-rhyme tradition by bringing premium plushies like Jellycats. Jellycats, which can cost up to thousands of pounds, are most popular with late teen and 20-somethings, according to the survey. 37% of Gen Z adults said they prefer to bring the pricier Jellycat toys to picnics - rather than traditional teddies. Some of the Jellycat toys are even designed to look like food - so make-believers can pretend their cuddly companions are part of the picnic itself. The high-value toys have become the latest global obsession, with many Brits sharing how they have built up collections worth a fortune. Gangs of thieves have even targeted stores selling Jellycats -- in one instance looting £20,000 worth. 'B----, I'LL KILL YOU' Chilling rise of Jellycat gangs - how toys sparked crimewave where KIDS are used as cover & scammers terrorise families Squishmallows (31%), Hello Kitty (31%) and Labubu (22%) were also popular mentions in the survey. But while grown-ups are rediscovering their love for soft toys, the magic seems to be fading for little ones. AO shockingly found almost a third of children have never had a teddy bear picnic at all. And for those who do, their menus no longer feature traditional jam sandwiches and crisps - but instead barbecued burgers, homemade pizzas, and even sushi rolls. Some 23% of parents use air fryers to rustle up the feast, and one in five (20%) say their espresso machine is an essential part of the teddy bear's tea. Isabella Forgione, small appliance expert at AO said: "Today's families are using small appliances in all sorts of creative ways, and it's great to see that even teddy bear picnics are being brought into the modern age." In honour of the generational shift, AO has unveiled a limited-edition contemporary teddy picnic set - featuring its own mascot, Bear. Punters can win the set by heading to their Instagram page and entering the competition between before July 25. Why are Jellycats so popular? THEY were made for kids, but Jellycat toys remain incredibly popular with adults too. So just what is the appeal? The London-based company started making toys in 1999, and enjoyed success from the outset thanks to the fabrics used to make their plushies suitable for children of all ages. In recent years, they have branched out from making toys of various animals into turning virtually anything you can think of into a Jellycat. Their vegetable offerings, which range from broccoli to avocado, can help kids eat their greens. And even their April Fools - a toilet paper toy - was a hit with fans. Jellycat also has numerous celebrity fans, including Princess Charlotte, with a picture released in 2015 showing the royal with her Fuddlewuddle dog. The hefty price tag of the toys also promote the idea of luxury, and the value of the toys increases over time - meaning they are often a worthwhile investment. Jellycat releases two new collections a year - in January and in the summer, in either June or July.

Niharika Roy, Priyamvada Kant, Paras Arora To Star In A Supernatural Show?
The creators are preparing for a new romance drama with a supernatural twist, promising audiences a fascinating variation on the traditional love story. Niharika Roy, Priyamvada Kant and Paras Arora are all set to star in a show backed by Peninsula Pictures. The makers are preparing for a romance storyline with a supernatural twist. It is safe to say that the audience will be fascinated by seeing the unconventional take on the traditional love story. According to a Tellychakkar report, actress Niharika Roy is preparing to make her television comeback with the show. In addition to her, Paras Arora and Priyamvada Kant will play leading roles in the show. Confirming the news, Niharika said, 'Yes, I am doing the show. I will be playing a GEN Z character and that's what I really wanted to take up after my previous show. I am sure the viewers will love the exciting show." Paras Arora and Priyamvada Kant have not yet confirmed the news. Niharika Roy rose to prominence for her emotionally rooted role in Pyar Ka Pehla Naam: Radha Mohan on Zee TV. The story revolves around Radha, a joyful girl, who falls head over heels for Mohan, a businessman, despite knowing he has a daughter. She is, nonetheless, confident that she can transform him into a nice man. She starred opposite Shabir Ahluwalia in the show. Paras Arora, who was most recently seen in a performance in Dangal TV's Nath, returns to mainstream television with this new project. His addition to the show adds depth and maturity, since he is known for his versatility and powerful screen presence. Priyamvada Kant is currently seen as Sharda in Tenali Rama. Speaking about her role, she had earlier told ETimes, 'Sharda is actually a really fun but very complex character execution-wise. We're doing historical comedy, which is tough, a new genre. That's why it clicked with the audiences so well. We've seen historical and comedy separately, but bringing both together has never happened." The actress has been around in the television industry since 2010 and was also the winner of MTV Splitsvilla 12. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
