Young employees are getting overwhelmed by their quantity of daily work emails. For 36% of Gen Z employees, having over 1K unread emails in their inbox is a grim reality, in contrast to only 18% of general office workers. Variances in communication styles can worsen burnout, as Gen Z’s communication preferences are heavily influenced by instant messaging platforms, rather than the structured and formal nature of email communication. The formality may be unfamiliar and complex for many young people entering the workforce, resulting in heightened stress levels around the subject. (CNBC)
