    It makes some sense, TBH. I think we all forget what it’s like to start your first office job and have no context around working for real. You pick up a lot of random tribal knowledge from being surrounded by people who have worked for years. And Gen z doesn’t get that and must notice it missing.

    Also, they’re the age where you still go out and get wasted with coworkers after work. They don’t have kids to get back to.

    Still, once they’ve been at it a few years, i’m sure the novelty will taper off.

      Can’t miss what you don’t know. And tribal knowledge getting passed around isn’t represented in movies or TV if at all, so where would they learn about what they don’t know to ask about?

      What does work is having chat and email to document the tribal knowledge and pass that around.

      A good remote job still has communication and ways to bounce ideas off each other. That’s not every company but they certainly exist.

      Maybe some types. I never went out with co-workers. During that time I would meet up with my actual friends after work. I have like many people I have worked with but ultimately we are just acquaintances.
