Catalyst Spills the Tea on: Lazy Girl Jobs

Gen Z, in particular, is ushering in a new attitude towards work-life balance. No matter the generation, workplace expectations are shifting, with employees everywhere wanting more flexibility.
“Lazy Girl jobs” are one example of how employees are taking to the internet to discuss their hacks for better work-life balance. Coined by social media influencer Gabrielle Judge, the phrase is meant to describe a non-technical job where you have a comfortable salary, a lot of flexibility, and are not overworked.
Are “Lazy Girl jobs” just healthy jobs? Does the term have a negative connotation for women? Why did this term cause such an uproar and what does it mean for talent recruiters, workplaces and the future of work?
Catalyst's own Danielle Shelton, Director, Talent Acquisition; Tara Van Bommel, Senior Director, Research; and host Mariana Vanin, Director, Global Communications, spill the tea, unpacking these questions and more.
