could it be explained as a generational gap?
that generation tied a lot of value to the ability to work.
the current generation looks for all possibilities to not work.
- munk-a 5y agoIf the current generation is looking for all possibilities to not work they're sure doing a crap job at it - the number of people working multiple jobs has shot up... Or did you mean that stereotypical millennials are lazy and thus all young people are lazy?
- foolinaround 5y agothe people working multiple jobs is due to how the jobs have gotten 'securitized' - people have become specialists in low skill jobs, leading to no growth at all. A person who is a Uber driver and a dog sitter is unable to display much skill addition after years on these jobs. i can only quote anecdotal data about the attitude to work among generations. On the other hand, because of the changing nature of the work, it is completely understandable.
- BossingAround 5y ago> the current generation looks for all possibilities to not work. You're getting downvoted for this statement, which is utterly ridiculous. From what I see around me, the current generations work as much, if not way more, than previous generations (such as boomers).
- foolinaround 5y agoi differentiated between between people working and people wanting to work. it is also true that if a generation is chronically overworked, they will not be interested at all in working till their death.
