I'm sorry but calling it "work" as if doing something mentally fulfilling is a dirty word and implying that employees need (or even want) to work intellectually meaningless work is just ridiculous. A young person (your dreaded millennial) with valuable skills is not magically worth only menial labor by virtue of their age or your own entitlement. The quickest way to destroy a valuable creative mind is to throw it at menial work for minimal pay. So, a great method if you want job security if you're already at the top; however, worthless if you innovation or technical progress.
