"Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z’s ‘strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost’ because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.
Pike believes the discussions around mental health and mental illness must continue and that Gen Z will eventually learn to cope with difficult feelings.
‘There may be times where a Gen Z young professional may have a threshold around stress or anxiety or mood that actually over time an expanded comfort with a wider range of emotional experience will actually be a maturing experience for them,’ she said.
‘Success grows out of learning how to get back on the horse, learning how to build the skills, how to ask for help, and how to build capacity in ways that didn’t exist. That’s part of maturing in the workplace.’"
So fucking tone deaf, gotta love the baiting of success. Success to Business Insider of course meaning committing your life force to that grind culture to make the owner’s ego score lines go up.
Ah, the “professional” is also a CEO who has a business to run and doesn’t want to tackle mental health issues at work. Seems like Business Insider is cherry picking their sources. The article writer, Sawdah Bhaimiya, is a talentless hack who is hurting her own generation by encouraging a hopeless grind as normal.
Fuck these two people and this bullshit article.
Agreed. I just feel such articles do need to be openly mocked rather than ignored and left to quietly delude naive people without sound rebuttal.

Oh I missed the part where she’s the CEO of a company, and now it all makes sense.
It’s a probably just her. She probably does some consulting work on the side of her teaching.
I figured. Would be more honest to say she ran an LLC, but look at who our source is after all.
she’s self-employed so she can put adequate pressure and a totally normal amount of stress on that lazy fuck of an employee she is
Yep. I just pointed out how this article misrepresents the point of the research.
