🚨 Now out at JEPG! 🚨
After college students graduate & head off the workforce, there are many opportunities to collaborate at work. Do these opportunities reduce cultural mismatch for college grads from working-class backgrounds?
Not always: We find that it depends on what orgs value. Many orgs continue to value individual contributors instead of team players—creating a cultural mismatch. Only when orgs also value working together as part of being a “good” employee do employees from working-class backgrounds feel they fit.
