A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers didn't have the "promise of stability" at work, so they're putting their personal lives and well-being first.

I manage teams at a university. Gen Z types tend to be very motivated but won’t easily do useless busy work just cuz you think they should. You need to motivate them. That’s the boss’ job, though.

The real problem was the previous generations who happily devoted themselves to their bosses getting richer.

That's pretty true of every generation. If you give anyone a seemingly boring task with no explanation why it matters, they're going to suck at it. What I'm saying is I can't give my Gen Z coworkers an open ended task without detailed instructions, even when I explain why it's important.
