Be careful with this.
My biggest concern is that the younger generation is perpetually online, and being in person in the office interacting with other people is the only way they stayed somewhat grounded to reality. While short term effects may be positive improved morale boost for more people, long term effects are unknown. We have already seen what the online world does to people, and WFH is not going to make this any better.
- BlargMcLarg 5y agoThis is already happening and was happening even with them going to the office. You only have to look at how many people are perpetually glued to their smartphones and monitors, even in the office, the moment no one expects them to do any hard work. The office is not a solution to perpetually doom scrolling social media when almost everyone in the office does it, and the few who don't aren't there to police others. Besides, there are various problems with this. It isn't just the younger generation. A lot of younger people do resonate far better with people online than the senior who was spared several current-day problems that the younger generations now face. Finally, creating yet another dependency with the office seems like a bad idea when so many have already shown to end up extremely poorly. Teach people to interact in person outside the office instead of having companies act like an adult daycare.
