Gen Z Is Stressed At Work Due To Emails: Survey Reveals Gen Z Has 1,000+ Unread Messages

Emails are not for Gen Z employees, as per a recent survey which indicates that Gen Z has over 1,000 unread emails in their inbox.? One reason for this behavior is the stress it causes them. They find the formal language used in emails intimidating and prefer the casual style of instant messaging they are accustomed to.

Gen Z is more into instant messaging

In a recent investigation conducted by Babbel, a platform dedicated to language learning, a survey unveiled that 36% of employees from Generation Z confessed to having more than 1,000 unread emails in their inbox.?

This figure starkly contrasts with the mere 18% of office workers across all age groups who admitted to a similar email backlog.?

A separate study carried out by Slack, a cloud-based platform facilitating team communication, echoed this trend, revealing a declining pattern in email consumption, particularly noticeable among members of Generation Z.

Esteban Touma, an expert in linguistics and culture associated with Babbel, offered insights into this phenomenon.?

Touma proposed that the prevalent preference for instant messaging platforms and social media among Gen Z significantly influences their communication practices.?

Furthermore, he suggested that the rigid and formal framework characterising email communication might pose significant hurdles for many individuals within Generation Z, thus contributing to their reluctance to engage with traditional email correspondence.

Not just emails, Gen Z dislikes corporate lingo too

The complex language used in the corporate world, often avoiding direct communication, seems to baffle Gen Z.?

This frustration with corporate jargon has led Gen Z to express their discontent on social media, where they create memes and engage in humorous discussions mocking these formal phrases.

This includes phrases such as ?touch base, circle back, deep dive, be more impactful, come up with your action plans, utilise your resources, go above and beyond.

According to Gen Z, such corporate lingo is more like playing with words than actually saying something meaningful.
