Is this how most Gen Z employees are?

I used to work with millennials, and I’m the only Gen Z in our office. From my experience, it really depends. I tend to be more resourceful and look things up on my own instead of asking right away, so I don’t ask questions as often.

Sometimes I notice my manager seems a bit irritated, or maybe I’m just overthinking. I can usually find the answers online, but I feel like there should be a balance. There are times when I even try to ask dummy questions just to show engagement, but it still seems like he gets irritated. I’ve noticed this also in my remote work. I tend to rely too much on figuring things out on my own.

For millennials in senior or managerial positions, what do you actually prefer? Do you prefer someone who asks a lot of questions, or someone who asks less and figures things out independently? And what's your niche?

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent time working in virtual legal administrative support roles, mainly focusing on document preparation, case file organization, scheduling coordination, client communication, and intake tracking.

One thing that stands out in remote legal admin setups is how much efficiency depends on structure rather than effort. Even small improvements in how files are organized or how intake information is captured can significantly reduce back and forth and delays later in the case workflow.

I’ve also noticed that communication and consistency matter just as much as technical accuracy, especially when multiple people are touching the same case remotely. Without clear systems in place, even simple tasks like scheduling or follow ups can become time consuming.

I am curious how other firms or practitioners are handling this side of operations, especially in smaller teams where there is no dedicated administrative layer.

Would be interested to hear what systems or approaches have worked well for others.
