Gabriel summed it up nicely (https://twitter.com/behindthenet/status/1547423946038906880):

“This is incredible journalism. Decide what your conclusion will be, recruit people who will support your contrarian viewpoint, then shoehorn in some random surveys to claim this is all data-driven”

ADD: Tweet was in response to a tweet where Bloomberg blatantly recruited said people.

Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32085319 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32104819

Business Insider seems to love writing "Gen Z Yadda Yadda" stories: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Gotta chase those clicks somehow. I can't wait to see what industries zoomers get blamed for killing like millennials.

“Generation told that the only way they’ll be able to get ahead is networking is nervous working-from-home will reduce networking opportunities, after receiving said advice from older workers who want to work from home and not talk to them.”

I'm around mid twenties and I'm working faaaaaaaaaar away from the company where

I've been once and I've learned more about my coworkers during that a few hours than after months of working with them over the internet.

And I do seriously believe that purely remote hurts your networking possibilities.

I didn't feel like that when I've been working remotely with ppl that I've spent 2 years onsite.

I love remote, but it's tricky topic.

Really depends on the industry. With everybody online, if someone can't successfully network in a meaningful capacity online then that's their own shortcoming, IMO.

> And I do seriously believe that purely remote hurts your networking possibilities.

While I do agree, I am glad in some ways.

I find that the line between networking and nepotism happens to be very very thin.

Though, I suppose there is no shame in networking or nepotism. One must do what it takes to survive in the Rat Race.

In the land of the elk, all networking is nepotism.

From what I've experienced in my firm, literally no one, whatever their age/demographic hates working from home. They seem to love it, even people that were firmly against the idea before the pandemic and now totally for it. Everyone saves money, is healthier and they avoid the commute. What an odd article.

Look spoiled Millennial, Gen Z is young and exploitable. Why can't you be the same?

I see Business Insider has acquired some of the writing staff from BuzzFeed

Broad generalisation of an entire generation…not helpful

Not only that, it’s a broad generalization of a cohort that’s both arbitrary and loosely defined. Even more useless.
