You think that’s new? I saw lots of incompetent slobs get breaks I never had because of their family.
Then there’s this: Gladwell is talking about tech moguls. So basically the attitude is “if I can’t be a billionaire, why try?”
Jesus.

The funny thing is that in 2022, that right out of HS job at a good wage has never been more available.
Amen.
I’ll say it again. I never met a poor plumber or A/C guy.

I would also say we’re overlooking the component of pushing college in order to have a career. It literally created a whole new developmental stage (emerging adulthood) because people who were getting jobs right out of high school and getting paid a living wage raised their own to go to college to do the same job. And society ran with it.
And now college isn't giving people the wages that make it worthwhile, at least in the first decade or so after college. People getting married later, having kids later, having less kids because they're doing everything later. Now they'll be buying houses later which will extend people having kids later and later.
Millennials are behind in every category and Gen Z will be even worse.

Wow. 57 pages in 2 days. I'm pretty new here, so I don't know, but is that a record for this board?

Im an older millennial, and i get it. Work/life balance. Makes no sense to go above and beyond and put in more hours than is needed.
Most of us have lower entry wages to the market when compared to previous generations and no pensions. So when boomers treated their employees like shite knowing they weren’t walking away from a million dollar pension, they assume they can do the same to millennials and then act shocked when they leave.

Baw, pensions? Almost no one in my generation had those. And we had to pay for the older group that did, because they were unfunded. We got hit twice.
Know what we didn’t do? Quietly quit.

you do realise there will be no ss benefits or other means of living other then what you save, right, and that's why 401k has been such a big deal for awhile now

Jobs with living wages that require degrees far outweigh jobs that don’t that also have a living wage. Do we have a labor shortage in trades? Sure. But even if you filled them, there still wouldn’t be enough jobs available for trades alone to pick up the full slack.
Especially when you consider, aside from brief times where a mother may be a SAHM before the kids are in school, in majority of households you have both parents working to maintain a middle class living.
Some of y’all are also harkening back to an age where you didn’t have to have that to be comfortable with 2 kids.

Many did. Coasting, “retired in place”, etc. it’s common enough all over corporate America. Why do you keep acting like all boomers have great work ethics and success, the stats show it’s simply untrue.

Before you'd have never heard of it unless you caught the local news but now it's published worldwide, videos and articles. People believe theres a massive increase in accidents but it's the same as ever, the difference is the information is more accessible than ever.

The quiet quitters say it is an affordability issue.
The private equity guys buying up subdivisions to rent say it is a generational preference (renting over buying).

Holy crap this thread exploded. Is it mostly just Mingo and Roger pissing on each other?

Nah, just a bunch of millennials crying like little bitches that every generation before them had it super-duper easy in life.
