I took the approach of not being greedy, and am retiring early, and your saying I am not giving a chance? I am leaving so a younger person can have the opportunity. How hypocritical is that?
I absolutly stand by my claim that yours is the "entitlement generation". Very few of these kids want to pay their dues, wanting promotions and opportunites, for no reasons. In my early days, working 50-70 hours was the rule to help get ahead. The young now value their down time too much to put in that effort. And when I do have them work OT, it is with displeasure. Lastly, the quality of work has seems to be less for the younger workforce. I have seen college graduates who almost appear illiterate, but want to be the next supervisor.
If you want another 50 examples Freepmail me I will bend your ear like no other.
I agree however not all of us are represented by that group.
Please don’t paint with a broad brush.
Boomers have not lost jobs or gained jobs they have kept jobs.
The group most affected by the job losses are those in the 25 to 50 age group.
THIS IS THE PRIME GROUP OF WORKERS WHO MOVE A MARKET!!!!
The are the ones buying new and bigger houses, kids shoes and clothes, new vans and payionfg for tuition to private school.
When they are out of work it is a tragedy for society.
Many in this age group are over forty. They have also worked since they where twelve, fifty, sixty and seventy hours a week and they are also the one that have always been the first out the door during layoff season.
