From permanent contracts to \u2018what now?\u2019<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when landing a permanent job felt like unlocking the happy ending to adult life: a stable salary, paid holidays, seniority and an existence mapped out with almost surgical precision until retirement. However, Generation Z seems to have completely lost interest in the model that, for decades, functioned as a universal symbol of success and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no, it\u2019s not that young people no longer want to work<\/strong>; they\u2019re simply no longer willing to do it under the same rules. After growing up through economic crises, inflation, frozen wages and increasingly normalised instability, the promise of a \u201cjob for life\u201d no longer sounds reassuring \u2014 it sounds almost like science fiction. As a result, many now prefer to build careers that are more flexible, dynamic and less linear, where changing direction is no longer seen as failure, but rather as a far more coherent way of navigating today\u2019s working world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working for a year and then moving on<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent report by Shakers<\/a>, younger workers stay at the same company for an average of just one year before looking for a new professional challenge. However, reducing this phenomenon to simple impatience would be missing the point entirely. For Generation Z, changing jobs works almost like an accelerated master\u2019s degree<\/strong>: it allows them to gain experience faster, expand their network and build skills in record time. In a labour market where everything changes constantly, standing still is beginning to feel far riskier than moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logic, therefore, is no longer about staying put, but about evolving continuously. While millennials still attempted to follow the traditional corporate ladder \u2014 that fantasy of eventually earning a corner office after surviving endless meetings for a decade \u2014 Generation Z operates under far more fluid and flexible codes. Today, changing companies is no longer interpreted as instability, but rather as a sign of adaptability and even strategic intelligence <\/strong>within a market that increasingly rewards the ability to reinvent oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
