Ive been around the corporate world and the equivalent of this pretty much never happens. And when it does it’s always been a young person standing up for themselves. So I think this is just big talk.
And by that I don’t mean a personal insult. But your answer doesn’t give me confidence in your view.
- exe34 2y agoI suspect the older people in your experience have a mortgage, it might make a difference.
- liontwist 2y agoIn other words, they are bound by social obligations that encourage them to support the system, and their leadership. Just like the young people.
- exe34 2y agothe difference is that in a corporate environment, an older person will generally have a mortgage and be less willing to stand up to management, while a young one can't afford a house yet and will have more freedom to move around if needed. an older person who can't afford a mortgage, has no friends or family, and not much to live for other than work/food/shelter is one who is a lot harder to coerce.
