  • Way to completely misunderstand the point of the article:

    Gen Z being open about mental health issues is a “watershed moment” in the workplace and sparking meaningful change in the long term, according to Pike.

    ~ Pointing out the progress made in brining theee things to the surface.

    "At the same time, in the effort to talk about mental health and share around mental illness, there can also become an expanded discourse of experience that at times loses track of normal fluctuation of human experience and mental illness,"

    ~ pretty self-explanatory here if you’re not polarized and understand how nuance works.

    Feeling stressed out when you have a deadline or feeling sad, disappointed or anxious are “normal life experiences.”

    ~ again, self-explanatory, but the gist is that anxiety and stress are normal and oftentimes even beneficial. It’s part of nature and as animals, it’s healthy that we have this. Expecting a completely stress-free working environment is absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic.
