Then there's the adversarial and asymmetrical relationship that exists between employer and employee Until you're engaged with and benefit from a system, it's an adversary of sorts. You might be an anarchist until you have children, at which point apparatus of the state (e.g. police) suddenly holds value. You might be against forms of financial leverage until you're able to take advantage of the system (i.e. you have capital to play with). On the flip side, a corporation might see young people as threatening or non-ideal until they have a need for new skill-sets, youthful energy, fresh perspectives or there's been some sort of normalization between the two entities. I think the effect is pronounced more than ever because there's a disparate rate of cultural evolution between generations, and corporations are responding to young people the way an immune system might respond to a foreign body.
