Newsweek -  A significant number of Generation Z frontline workers have felt so overwhelmed at what they need to learn in the workplace that they have considered quitting their jobs. That's according to a new poll of 1,000 U.S. workers from retail, food service, fitness and hospitality industries which found that 83 percent of workers polled felt overwhelmed to some degree by the amount of information required to work effectively. The Talker Research survey of 1,000 Americans which took place between April 29 and May 8 and was commissioned by Wisetail, an organizational operations platform, highlighted how Gen Z workers born between 1997 and 2006 appeared especially concerned. Asked to what extent they agreed with the statement "I've considered quitting my job because I feel overwhelmed by the things I need to learn" 11 percent of Gen Z respondents said they "strongly agreed."
