Toxic Gen Z politics are infecting the workplace, survey finds
A shocking level of political and intellectual intolerance is spreading through the workplace, particularly among Generation Z and millennial employees, a poll from Indeed released this month reveals. Nearly 40% of workers aged 18 to 34 said they would consider quitting their job over political differences at work or if their CEO said something they disagreed with.
“The fact that almost half of us would rather quit our jobs over politically charged fractions than be open to respectfully coexisting is a telling sign of just how divisive we’ve become,” Indeed’s analysts concluded.
But there’s more to this story than just political division. This disturbing degree of intolerance is a direct product of the echo chambers and “safe space” culture in which young workers were raised.
