Many bosses will tell Gen Z this much: Working from home all the time just doesn’t compare to the connections you can make and the education you can glean from working side-by-side. The latest proponent of this idea comes from an unlikely source: Slack co-founder and chief technology officer Cal Henderson.
In an interview with Insider, Henderson said he understood why scores of Silicon Valley giants—including Salesforce, Slack’s parent company—are insisting Gen Z return to their cubicles, lest they hamstring their career prospects and cut off their best chance of mentorship. "You learn by watching somebody who's more experienced than you do the job," Henderson said. “You sit next to them, you ride along on a sales phone call, you watch a finance person put together a spreadsheet in the middle of the night.”
