I think its just that the olds were afraid of their employer. If you are a decent employee, its not hard to have a good work/life balance. There really is no reason to work more than 40 hours unless you just simply want it that way. If you don't want it that way, and you have it that way, its probably because you are a pushover or just inefficient at managing your tasks. If you can manage it accordingly for long enough, then it only gets easier to write your own schedule.
I think a lot of the *****ing and moaning is just because the younger generation wants what the 10 year employees have...but they want it right now....

Could not agree more. So then why do people gripe about jobs that take longer than 40 hours a week?

And are female
quote:
They have no problem working fewer than 40 hours, but feel entitled to work no more. It's as if they think their employer can't expect them to occasionally go above and beyond. These are the same people who are mystified why they are passed over for promotions, often chalking it up to "unfairness" or -- even better -- "discrimination".
quote:
I don't understand while y'all are turning this into a millennial issue. There have always been plenty of people who feel justified in their job performance because they punch the clock at 8:59 and 5:01 everyday.

Not always. Prior to being a parent and in my former career, I was on the road all over the country just listening to new bands. I would turn the trips into vacations.
Then I had a kid. My priorities deal with her, not my job.

Actually, it's bragging about how good life can actually be if you weren't a lazy Whitney millenial

I disagree and think the demographics are just shifting. It used to be that the lazy people worked blue collar jobs. Now going through college and getting some mid-level white collar job is the lazy route. In my more recent experiences, the young people (millennials if you must) who are working those blue collar jobs are much harder working than their predecessors.

That is an excellent point and one I've not considered.

Lol. You, me, and everyone else on this board know exactly what you're doing, and it's not motivating.

You are using the point. The latter is now lazy, wants everything, doesn't have what it takes to get it beyond lobbying against "the rich" and whines about fairness.

Says the one constantly whining about his job and lot in life. Plenty have contacted me privately for advice.
