This millennial employee and his buddies decided that internal promotions just weren't for them, fairly assessing their superiors' unfavorable work/life balance mantras and finding contentment in their lower positions. Because at the end of the day, unless a company is going to make your paycheck extra beefy, a 60-hour week isn't worth it.
Back in every Boomer's day, you could waltz into a corporate office with nothing but a firm handshake, a crisp shirt, and a bit of overconfidence, and you could get hired at a job that would employ you for the rest of your life. Did I mention they had a pension, health benefits, a company car, and no resume to speak of on hiring day? There was no reason for an employee to avoid climbing the corporate ladder, staying loyal to a company that stayed loyal to them. But these days things are far different–and Boomer bosses are starting to see the effects.
Read on for the story of an office on the verge of collapse–not because millennials 'don't want to work anymore', but because millennials realize the intrinsic value of having a life outside of a job that couldn't care less if you never showed up again.
