This article reads like some CEO association paid a tabloid journalist to write propaganda about how wonderful on-site work is. Any longer and the article would seem almost … desperate.
And you can wear a funny tie on Fridays! What fun!!!!
From previous comments I've seen, you've just summed up Business Insider.
What a ridiculous article. In-person jobs exist. Plenty of employers are forcing employees to return to the office, and job seekers are abandoning them like mice off a sinking ship. If anyone, Gen Z or otherwise, wanted to work in an office, they could. Remote work from home gives employees greater flexibility and control over their own work/life balance. It is objectively better for the employee, and now that we have it, nobody wants to give it back.
Gen Z is lonely because they have no dislosable income and we're still reeling from a poorly managed pandemic. If wages go up, and rent comes down, people will be a lot less lonely.
Business Insider article, NOT a Psychology Today article. Consider the source, it's perspective, bias, and motivations.
for some.
Yeah, maybe. Loneliness cured by the "family" in the office shudder
Homeless folks are cold, jackets may be the cure for some 🤡
"Nearly one in four people worldwide — which translates into more than a billion people — feel very or fairly lonely, according to a recent Meta-Gallup survey of more than 140 countries.”
“Notably, these numbers could be even higher. The survey represents approximately 77% of the world’s adults because it was not asked in the second-most populous country in the world, China.”

The thing about loneliness is everybody thinks they're the exception
eh, a few sacrifices must be made then
Not even that. The majority of jobs won't stop you from going to the office, even if you have a wfh job
