Alli Peck (speaker) recounts a TikTok social experiment where she posted parental career advice: "come early, stay late". The TikTok clip received large engagement — ~20,000 comments, ~1 million views, and many stitches — and sparked debate, with many viewers (particularly Gen Z) rejecting that advice; Peck acknowledges generational differences in work culture.
Love that you mentioned Gen Z doesn't want to come early and stay late. That was advice that I got from my parents growing up. Me too. And absolutely. I did a social experiment on TikTok recently where I made a video giving the advice that my parents gave to me. I said, if you want to excel in your career and you're at the very beginning, come early, stay late. Yeah. That video got 20,000 comments. Wow. A million views. I was in the news about it. Wow. Hundreds of people stitched the video and said, absolutely not. Wrong tape. Yep. And while I understand that it's not the right advice for this new generation.
