Me Too 改變了 Z 世代的工作場所嗎？

The news article titled 'Did Me Too change the workplace for Gen Z? ' explores the impact of the Me Too movement on the work environment for Generation Z, those born between 1996 and 2012. The Me Too movement, initiated in 2006 but gaining momentum in 2017 following a tweet by actress Alyssa Milano, aimed to address and eradicate sexual harassment, particularly in the workplace.

The movement sparked widespread discussions about inappropriate and often illegal behaviours encountered in professional settings. However, for Generation Z, who were still in their formative years during the height of the movement, the issue seemed more confined to the realm of Hollywood and the rich and famous. Scott Millar, a 22-year-old entrepreneur from Brisbane, Australia, expressed that he and his peers initially failed to connect the movement to the broader workforce. Conversely, Danielle Farage, a speaker on Generation Z and work-related issues, stated that her peer group was acutely aware of the significance of the Me Too movement from the onset.

Anne Boysen, a futurist and Gen Z expert, noted that some members of the generation were simply too young to comprehend the sexual crimes that the Me Too campaigners were highlighting. She also pointed out that the movement's growth, driven by privileged, predominantly white women, made it difficult for some young people to envision how it could shape their future life experiences. Currently, Generation Z finds themselves in a unique position as the first generation to embark on their adult careers in a post-Me Too era. However, quantifying the extent to which companies have altered their cultures in response to the movement and the impact this has on Gen Z's early career experiences remains a complex task.
