[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why anyone is still obsessed with rigid office culture and hours.  As long as the work gets done, who GAF where it is done or what hours are worked?

Such boomer thinking. [/quote]

My old company is building a new office in downtown for GenZ who want to come to office at set hours in person. They need to network, be mentored, trained, find people to date, go to happy hours, go out to lunch with friends, make friends at work. Stuff the old Milenials and Gen X got to do and now they want it.   [/quote]

First, nobody wants to date at work: ugh. GenZ have their own friends and social networks, they do not want to go to happy hours with Gen X coworkers (nor do middle aged people of any generation go to happy hour very much: they have kids waiting at home).
I agree that some things are lost with remote work, although people are using chat tools to regain some of the spontaneity. But what I've found is that even though my Gen Z coworkers will say it's hard to do this or that networking thing remotely, the fact is they like WFH too and don't want to give that up to regain the supposed benefits of in-person culture. You will see them come in for the holiday party but that's it. [/quote]

NP, the Gen Z members of my family definitely do want to go to the office.  They had enough staying at home during covid.[/quote]

True, though they will change their minds when they have kids.[/quote]

They aren’t going to have them. I keep seeing people bragging about long work hours and pushback against work flexibility. It’s going to push the birth rate down.[/quote]
