The in-office/remote/hybrid question is just one of the many stressors hitting American workers these days. There’s also constant news of large-scale layoffs, the great resignation that removed many mentors from the workplace, and an overall sense of uncertainty. "Add in large external stressors like the existential threat of climate change, and it can feel overwhelming," says Dr. Nina Vasan, chief medical officer at the mental health platform Real.
Vasan adds that different groups face their own unique stressors, like GenZ who are just starting off and maybe lost their first job, or millennials struggling to afford a house. “Any of these stressors by themselves would be a lot,” she says.
