Young workers are leading the charge in advocating for reopening offices. In February, 92% of Gen Z employees were working fully in person—and evidently, they want to stay in their office environment. The high cost of rent is a practical concern, as it often leads to Gen Z having to share smaller living spaces with roommates and limits their ability to create a designated work area. TikTok is also fueling this trend as creators are romanticizing the concept of in-person work by showing their office attire, giving virtual tours of their workspaces, and displaying pleasing 9-5-routines. But primarily, younger people are viewing the office as a space to help navigate their early adulthood. (Fortune)
