<![CDATA[The study explores Filipino Generation Z’s emotional vulnerability in the workplace. The study focuses on their experiences, thoughts, and feelings about being emotionally vulnerable, sensitive, and self-aware in the workplace. In sharing their stories, five participants born between 2000–2006 were able to explain their personal, positional, and ideological understanding of emotional vulnerability in the workplace. Generation Z employees’ narratives cover three chapters: beginning - first experience of emotional vulnerability in the workplace; middle: dealing with emotional vulnerability in the workplace; and end reflection on emotional vulnerability in the workplace. The study identified the nine (9) themes that defined the participant’s collated experiences: (1) experience of emotional distress from conflict and lack of support in the workplace; (2) experience of enduring emotional distress with professionalism and patience; (3) experience of coping with emotional distress and finding emotional balance; (4) perceived role as a learner navigating workplace dynamics; (5) perceived role as disregarded voice and vulnerable professional; (6) perceived role as advocates for employee support and well-being; (7) the value of emotional awareness and adaptability; (8) the value of professionalism; and (9) the value of sensitivity.
