[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems no one knows the difference here.  I know plenty of people who still take money from their elderly relatives, with no guilt.  I find that odd behavior for a grown adult, but that is just me.

There are so many who are absolutely dying to know how who got what, but not willing to put in the blood sweat and tears (and years!) to actually earn it.  I wonder if this is attributed the area or the generation, or both.  I don't think easy money was such  fixation in years past, at least I hope not.  How embarrassing.  [/quote]

The whole "putting in your time" is an old concept that is useless in today's business environment. In our environment regardless of age or "time" we compensate based on your output and value. This is one of the big cultural changes in our society. The younger generation values productivity and profits over "putting in your time". We also have witnessed first hand twice, .com crash, 2008 crash where you can be canned from a company and don't expect to be taken care of. The older generation believed that a large company would take care of you and you could retire from it etc... [/quote]

The younger generation doesn't understand that there's still value in certain professions to "putting in your time." No 25 year old could possibly be as good at my job as I am, because my job requires judgment and life experience, not pulling all nighters.[/quote]
