Gen Z remote workers may face challenges in career advancement and financial rewards compared to their in-office peers, according to New York University business professor Suzy Welch. While remote work offers benefits like no commute and increased productivity, Welch suggests that in-person collaboration and making one's presence felt in the office can lead to greater success. Remote workers may also be vulnerable to job outsourcing and proximity bias, and they may miss out on important mentoring opportunities. However, a 2023 State of Workers report indicates that Gen Z still prefers working in an office.
