Re: Generation Z
@ariella It's sad that the gig economy that purports to provide flexibility and should therefore help enhance/improve lifestyle is looking more like opportunities for companies to get cheap labor w/out providing benefits and likely results in many people feeling the pressure to be constantly in work mode. I feel like a "9 to 5" job is almost better in the long run, since it means being off from work when you're done for the day.

Re: Generation Z
@Michelle It will be interesting to see how this impacts commercial real estate as well.

Re: Generation Z
I agree. I used to work with multi-national teams, so it wasn't practical to meet face-to-face regularly, but I always found it was easier to work with people after we had the opportunity to connect in person, even if it was just a team-building dinner.
Sometimes getting to know someone even slightly more than just emails & phone calls seems to vastly improve future interactions.

Re: Generation Z
Exactly! (Your comment about hipsters reminds me of a picture I just saw of hipster-esque folks standing outside Amazon's "innovative" new brick & mortar bookstore that's opening in NYC.)

@ariella Thanks for sharing this! (I'm feeling quite clever right now - though my comment was partly in jest - lol!)

@Adi - that's hilarious! I always think that one day in the future it will common place for people to wonder in amazement: "You mean you had to GO somewhere to work every day????"" Astonishing!!

@mhhf1ve I'm drawing directly on my daughter's experience currently in a CUNY school with one particular professor. I'm not saying all do it, but some do.

Re: Generation Z
I haven't seen too many tenured professors promote their own political views in the classroom, but maybe I haven't been taking the right classes. And students can usually see through the bias when it happens, anyway. Is it a real problem? I think most students know when they apply to their schools which schools have a liberal or conservative bent.

Re: Generation Z
@Michelle Yes, once tenure is awarded, professors can get away with quite a bit. Way too many abuse their positions, just using the classroom as a platform to promote their own political views and ideology even when they have a defined topic for teh course. Adjuncts would not likely get away with that because student complaints would likely mean they wouldn't get rehired next semester.

Re: Generation Z
Thanks for sharing that story. I wondered what might happen when companies decide they now want all workers in a building together.
