I have never felt lonielier than when I am surrounded by people who can tell me what to do. Build more third places instead please.

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.

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.

Next month, “How working 70 hours a week can help your depression.”

Business Insider article, NOT a Psychology Today article. Consider the source, it’s perspective, bias, and motivations.

“for some”

For others lonliesness would be cured by more exercise, less social media, and livable wages.

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

Millennials are fighting to never go back while Gen Z is pushing hard to return. The differences in generations is really showing.
