[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unbelievable.  A young woman in her first job out of college is complaining that having to commute to a 9-5 job, she has to leave by 7:30am and doesn't get home to 6:15 and then doesn't even have the energy to make dinner.  She laments that she doesn't have time for friends or "her life".

She should be glad that she only has an office job and not a laborer or factory job and that thanks to the way paved by labor unions in the past, that employers can only have a 40 hour work week without paying overtime (to non-salaried workers).   Gen Z is so amazingly entitled.

Yes, and the way things changed is because workers pushed back.  Employers who adjust their ways and value their employees attract the workers and cause other employers to match that to keep up.  Kudos to this generation for asking for better.  Yes, some are way off base with their demands and expectations but in the end they won’t be the ones rising.  It’s a balance and many of us stuck in the old way need to see where we’ve sometimes been used and run over by the employment machine and these kids are point the way toward change.[/quote]
