Gen Z workers are already getting flak from businesses for lacking the basic skills needed to navigate the working world

youngest generation to enter the workforce doesn’t have the skills to debate, disagree, or work alongside people with different opinions.

    As someone in Gen Z, I agree. We’re the first generation to grow up in a world where echo chambers are an established concept and a lot of people aren’t aware of that.

    I actively try to avoid echo chambers and general tribalism and I also try to always look at the matter at hand instead of the people involved, but I still find my debating skills sub-par. The only way to improve those is by practice, so let’s hope that Gen Z is just a bit behind due to the pandemic.
