Embark on a journey into Vietnam's Gen Z workforce, and you're in for an experience that's as eye-opening as it is, occasionally, eyebrow-raising.
With Kelvin Nguyen as your guide in this episode of You Don't Know Vietnam, you'll get to peek behind the curtain of a generation that's rewriting the rulebook with a flair only they could pull off.

And then there's their pace – think Usain Bolt on a caffeine buzz.
Traditional career progression doesn't cut it for these digital natives; they're after instant success, hoping to leapfrog from graduation caps to CEO chairs in the blink of an eye.
It's ambition on steroids, with a side order of impatience, served up in a world where waiting more than two minutes for a coffee is a hardship.
But wait, there's more – the office as we know it is out. In comes a workplace that's anywhere and everywhere.
From the corner café to their living room, Gen Z's office is wherever their laptop opens.
Kelvin sheds light on this fluid work style that's as unstructured as their favourite playlist. It's a mash-up of creativity, flexibility, and, let's face it, a healthy dose of chaos.
So, tune in to this podcast and get ready for an enlightening tour of Vietnam's Gen Z at work.
It’s an enjoyable expedition into the heart of a generation that's as confounding as it is captivating.
