re: The 'lost generation' of millennials born in the 1980s may never be as rich as their paren

To quote one hiring manager I know: " We've had to lower our expectations for the millennial generation. Expecting 40 hours a week of production is apparently unrealistic. Social media breaks are the new smoke break or get paid to poop at work break".

Your hiring manager friend is being dishonest. Tigerdroppings wouldnt exist if people generally worked 40 productive hours a week. Strict 40+ hour requirements are for sheeple.

Millennials are also more likely to forfeit unused vacation days than other groups — 24% of Millennials, 19% of Gen Xers, and 17% of Boomers forfeited time off that they’d earned. (This ought to be an especially bitter pill for Millennials to swallow given that, due to their juniority in the workforce, they earn less vacation time overall than older workers.)
