Gen Z is lonely. Going back to the office may be the cure for some

Ha ha! Yeah, I haven't read it yet, but that headline is just hilariously "corporate". It's like these people have never met the people they're trying to convince.

[edited after reading]: okay, well nothing new there. Unrelated studies, implied as relevant; studies they claim show connections (maybe? it's vaguely worded) but don't provide links to; quotes from gen-z that don't necessarily mean what it's implied they are saying; the same old drum-banging about having 'mentors' around you to chat with, or having coworkers to go out to lunch with, just proving that those companies aren't doing remote work correctly. Nothing new here worth diving into, at all!

Par for the course for business insider.

Remember “quiet quitting”? BI articles overwhelmingly had the tone that these lazy workers were gutting businesses.

I think they just write articles to coddle middle management.

Does it mention the "exchange of ideas near the cooler" for the full bingo?:)

Ha! Looks like they dodged that specific bullet. But there's plenty of that vibe to go around!
