[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millennials won’t work a minute longer than they are being paid to work. They have a time clock mentality.[/quote]

I’m a millennial and this doesn’t ring true with me at all. But I’ve always been a highly compensated professional. How much are the millennials you’re referring to being paid?[/quote]

I’m a millennial and understand the importance of showing face - I’m in the office right now though I have a WFH option.

There are those who like to sh** on millennials for no discernible reason.

OP I think that while the junior employees certainly have the right to not attend these events, they’re not doing themselves any favors.[/quote]

I think a lot depends on the job and the employer. Does your company promote internally and is there a chance of advancement for these employees? I've managed people in roles where there was no real way up other than leaving and those people tended to not care at all about face time or attending anything optional. [/quote]

This is what I see. Back when I was a kid in the 1990s, my employers had a clear path of career progression and we "junior staff" knew impressions were important to getting ahead. Times change. Today, younger workers have eyes and see clearly their working environment: most employees in any organization are viewed as disposable and the employer-employee relationship is completely transactional on a paycheck to paycheck basis. Advancing your career and getting more pay are almost exclusively achieved by changing employers.

It's not that they are millennials. They are rational actors in 2022 (not 1990 when you were their age)[/quote]
