Older generations thrived on work socializing, while Gen Z prefers clear boundaries. The unique circumstances of our careers have redefined what mingling means.
I feel a deep discomfort at the thought of socializing with colleagues outside of work. My interactions are genuine and healthy but confined to professional settings.
Prior generations often blurred the lines between work and personal lives, but we've adapted to a virtual context that emphasizes separation over mingling.
The new norm for my generation seems to be maintaining a professional persona without the added stress of social obligations tied to work.
