#4 - RTO or GTFO? Gen Z’s Take on the Office Comeback

Is forcing people back to the office a return to normal—or a step backward? In this timely episode of From X to Z, Danielle Farage and Mervyn Dinnen tackle the heated debate around Return to Office (RTO) mandates and what they really mean for the future of work. As more companies push for in-person attendance, Gen Z finds itself caught between outdated assumptions and a desire for connection and flexibility. Danielle and Mervyn break down the generational divide in workplace expectations, challenging the myth that Gen Z wants to work exclusively from home. They explore how this generation views office culture, the evolving definition of “hard work,” and how economic pressure and outdated policies are clashing with a new workforce mindset. It’s a must-listen for leaders trying to bridge generational gaps and build a workplace that actually works. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
