No, there's a radical difference here. Yeah, some of these stories are "young people today" bullshit that will always be true. Gen Z truly got fucked by the pandemic and social media.
Judging by the comments here, there won't be any discussion. Which kinda proves the point.
Article ignores key factors of why people would behave in the office like that...
It is a disingenuous fake news.
There are NO factors for behaving like that in the office. If a young person doesn't have the basic social skill of shutting the fuck up about politics in the workplace, wouldn't you say they lack, at the very least, that one simple skill?
Watch these comments for more evidence. Anyone agreeing with the article's premise, or trying to add discussion/nuance, is getting downvoted with no reply.
In my experience, it's the boomers who can't shut the fuck up about politics in the workplace, so trying to lay blame the zoomers for not rolling over and taking it just reeks of more boomer entitlement. shrugs
In my experience, it's the boomers and fellow far right wing that talk politics in the workplace. Especially when they think it's a safe space for "locker room talk". Then they accuse the younger generation of being political because they dare to have LGTBQ+ pins, or don't want to participate with racism or don't look down on someone for having dyed hair.
Calling out someone for being racist, sexist or any of the other behaviors that are no longer acceptable isn’t political, despite one side often labeling it as such.
I'm thinking that a lot of the people commenting might work in pretty homogeneous environments.
I work with people from almost every group, and from every background. Calling people out on this horrendous behaviour maintains a safe work environment, and helps eliminate workplace toxicity. You can't insult a group without also insulting a coworker. Work culture wise, even if they aren't the target, people get very angry at the people who talk like that. "Why would you say that about Nimmy? Nimmy's awesome!". People should be able to earn their livelihoods in peace, imo.
At my job, if you insult a coworker through bigotry, you can expect (at minimum) a long talk with HR for the first offense. (Our HR department is also diverse.) A manager was just fired a few months ago for being bigoted. The best part? NO ONE misses them, not even the company a-holes.
Even from a completely corporate standpoint, it makes sense. You really don't want that kind of reputation if you want to keep your investors or a family friendly reputation. Media would chew them up and spit them out if they allowed bigotry like that.

Social media is the real world today. Yes, the pandemic put everyone’s life on hold for 3 years and that’s going to screw up people’s formative years, but this article hasn’t done much to separate that out from the gripes every new generation entering the workforce gets.
Fair point on the second bit, but I don't understand social media being the real world.
You and I are having a real discussion right now. It’s every bit as real as discussion as if we were having it in person.
Social media has been around over 20 years. The attitude that it’s some other world outside the real world that doesn’t count is antiquated. Social media is part of life, just like everything else we do.
