Young workers aren't well served by remote work, according to billionaire investor Marc Andreessen.

"A generation grew up with an office model and companies developed elaborate campus communities, such as Google, Apple, and Facebook, and suddenly it's gone," Andreessen said.

In November, the billionaire made the comments at the "American Dynamism Summit" sponsored by Andreessen Horowitz, his investment company.

Andreessen Horowitz shared the comments last week via a podcast and Fortune first reported them.

According to Andreessen, offices are a continuation of college campuses, and the pandemic has robbed young workers of opportunities to express themselves - including frequent outings and the opportunity to date coworkers.

"Suddenly, it's like, 'You don't get that.' What you get is to sit in your studio apartment with your laptop," he said, adding that millennial workers now rely on apps like Tinder and Doordash to live their lives.
