The staggering amount of time Gen Z spends watching TV during the workday has been revealed

To work hard or to work hard? It seems some members of Gen Z may do the latter.

New research reveals that Zoomer employees are wasting company time watching television, spending nearly an hour each day with their eyes glued to their favorite show instead of the work at hand.

According to new data from TollFreeForwarding.com, this drag time adds up to almost two weeks per year, costing employers approximately $8,241 annually.

Gen Z also spent more than two days of company time socializing, thinking, relaxing or using the computer for leisure; over five days playing video games; and more than a day shopping or using their phones.

But it’s not just younger workers who are expected to lose their jobs.

Millennials, too, are letting their attention wander during the workday. On average, they spend more than four days of company time watching TV and over two days taking care of children over the course of a year.

Meanwhile, Gen X workers spent time away from their desks during the workday, devoting more than 13 hours to caring for and playing with their pets each year.

The report comes amid what has been called the “Great Detachment,” which refers to the high number of disengaged employees.

Polling data from Gallup revealed a 5% decline in engagement from Gen Zers in particular and a widespread trend of disengagement in the workplace costing an estimated $8.8 trillion in productivity.

Such behavior has earned the younger generation in the workforce a reputation as “lazy” — a title that Gen Z New Yorkers are rejecting.

“The way our parents used to work and the way they would have to work hard to achieve the life they wanted is very different now,” Florencia Comparini, a 27-year-old senior media analyst, said earlier. Next, highlighting the role of technology in the workplace.

“Now you can sit at home and work on a computer and make billions of dollars.”

Meanwhile, other Zoomers told The Post that they aren’t willing to sacrifice their personal lives and happiness for “some corporate job that doesn’t care if we live or die,” according to freelance graphic designer Erica Burkett, 27.

“We’re just not going to be used to the workforce that’s existed for the last 50 years,” she said.

Jason O’Brien, COO of TollFreeForwarding.com, offered advice for employers looking to boost engagement and morale which, in turn, can motivate workers to put in more effort.

“To create a more productive environment for workers, business leaders must create and promote an environment that fosters growth and productivity,” he said in a statement.

“We recommend creating a culture of continuous improvement, embracing new tools and technologies, and giving employees the skills and freedom to be creative and drive change.”
