"It’s not a wonderful time of exploration for some people, it’s a frustration that they can’t move on to those more adult years" 💬 @bobbyduffy.bsky.social spoke to Prospect Magazine about the changing nature of being a young adult in Britain ➡️ www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/741...

Britain’s next generation is all grown up

Alienated, ignored—and stuck at home with mum and dad. Young adults are locked out from the future they’re ready to shape

"[in] 2003, 2004 half the public though the future was going to be better for young people... [but now] half think it's going to be worse" 💬 @bobbyduffy.bsky.social on Politics Live last week, speaking about Wes Streeting's comments – made in his resignation speech – on intergenerational fairness.

"You're part of the problem [if you're building a Gen Z workplace strategy]" @bobbyduffy.bsky.social spoke to the FT about how employers fixating on Gen Z risk widening the intergenerational divide in the workplace - one of the last few places where all ages mix ➡️ www.ft.com/content/ff49...

Please stop talking about Gen Z in the office

Mindless generational labels don’t help at a time when the workplace is one of the few places where young and old mix

Great piece by Pilita Clark on the nonsense around Gen Z in the workplace. I do feel for her, being sent a relentless flood of "bilge" press releases from "the marketing-media industrial complex" claiming Gen Z is entirely different, just to get a mention of a brand. www.ft.com/content/ff49...
