I hear a lot of joking (and I confess, I’ve made a few cracks myself) about what’s been called a, shall we say, relaxed, work ethic among Gen Y/Millennials.
The preceding generations of workers hit the ground running in the workplace, boastfully tossing around terms like “facetime,” “paying dues” and “working my way up from the ground floor.” Gen Y, on the other hand, kind of sauntered into the workforce, focused more on downtime than facetime and stating emphatically that they intended to have more work-life balance than their boomer parents.
