As employers have rolled out their in-office policies, it may already be time to reassess what kind of environment employees are experiencing while they’re there. 

Resume Builder recently polled workers whose companies have mandated in-office attendance at least one day per week after being fully remote since the pandemic. What they found is that after returning, 30% of respondents reported a toxic company culture, while 21% said they have been victims of bullying and 28% said they have experienced “creepy” behavior — defined by the survey as actions or comments that induce discomfort or fear. For Gen Z respondents between the ages of 18 and 24, these numbers came in even higher: 38% reported they have been bullied and almost half said they have encountered creepy behavior.
