[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a fundamental shift happening as the boomers are retiring en masse and more Millennials, Gen Z, and to some extent Gen X are in the workplace. We’re people who have seen that loyalty to a company is meaningless and they will drop you if it’s convenient. We don’t have any chance at pensions and some of us have seen parents get only a portion of what they were promised if theirs went bankrupt. If we want to take our vacation we’re going to take our vacation and there’s not a lot you can do about it. Sure, you can fire us, but there’s always another job hiring. [/quote]

Agreed. And we have now seen the arc of our parents careers play out until retirement. We’ve seen our parents spend Lots of hours in the office, travel, etc. and we recognize the toll on their stress, health and happiness. We are saying - no thanks. I’m not accepting any work situation where I can’t see my family, stay healthy and get my deserved vacation time. Not worth having a heart attack to get that promotion faster. I’d rather coach the t-ball team than get the top performer award this quarter. And that’s a valid way to be.[/quote]
