Millennials are divorced from the idea of having a “work spouse.”
This month, 1,500 US adults were asked about relationships in the workplace and their opinion on work spouses, defined in the poll as “a co-worker with whom someone shares a special relationship that can include a bond similar to a marriage.”
According to the survey, 57% of millennials — identified between the ages of 25 and 34 — don’t support the notion of having a work spouse.Gen Zers surveyed , meanwhile, seemed to be more on board with the idea of a work spouse with just 39% disapproving. Similarly, just 40% of baby boomers said they were against this type of relationship. None of the participants surveyed were perpetually overlooked Gen Xers .
Cohen notes that having a bond with a colleague at work could be beneficial for entry-level employees seeking guidance and mentorship from co-workers. Baby boomers, who are age 55 and up, could also find benefits in remaining close with a colleague to maintain longevity in their job. Cohen suggested using the term “work partner” rather than work wife or work husband to stress the platonic undertone. He noted that while there are professional benefits to workplace relationships, those that turn romantic can cause friction for other employees.

How Indictments Work in the U.S. Legal SystemNEW YORK — A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump for his role in paying hush money to an adult film star.
