A new report describes how some Gen Z office workers cope with workplace stress by leaving their desks during breaks to nap and cry in secluded places. According to Fortune, nearly half of Gen Z office workers surveyed say they have been brought to tears by workplace stress, and some reportedly step away during lunch to cry. The report also says workers choose places away from open offices or desks, ranging from other private areas to retail fitting rooms, including a cited example at Zara. NDTV similarly reports that stressed Gen Z employees sneak out to nap and cry in discreet locations, including movie theaters and other private spots. Both outlets frame the behavior as an informal coping strategy to deal with stress and emotional strain during the workday. The accounts focus on where workers go rather than on a single cause of stress, and they describe the practice as happening discreetly, away from workplaces and colleagues, during breaks.
