'Dangerous step-change' | Gen Z can't work with staff with different views, says Channel 4 boss

Gen Z employees lack the ability to get along with co-workers who have different opinions, Channel 4’s chief has said.

Alex Mahon, the TV channel’s chief exec, believes Gen Z workers are coming into the workplace with a poor ability to debate issues or respectfully disagree on certain subjects. 

And the root cause? Social media, apparently.

‌“What we are seeing with young people who come into the workplace, Gen Z, particularly post-pandemic and with this concentration of short-form content, is that they haven’t got the skills to debate things,” she said during a Royal Television Society conference.‌
