Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide a better insight into the characteristics of the working environment of generation Z, their attitudes towards work, as well as to provide guidelines to employers in working with this young generation. The work is composed of interconnected parts in which the general conditions of the modern business environment are discussed, the emergence of a new phenomenon called quiet quit attitudes towards the work of generation Z. The phenomenon of quiet quit, especially characteristic of generation Z, represents the path towards rejecting the culture of hard work and demolishing the attitude that work must be done "hard work". The authors believe that in this way employees clearly show that they are not happy in conditions where they often feel "burned out", stressed, anxious and unhappy. The period that preceded this one carried the motto live to work, while the new one is work to live. As such, it deserves the special attention of the author. Available sources of professional literature and results of secondary research were used in the work.
