Do You Think Young People Are Entitled?

Entitlement in the workplace? It's not what you think.

John Frehse (@woodylovestravel), a friend and expert in the field, said the youngest generation in the workforce isn't entitled in the negative sense we often hear. 

They're actually navigating a different landscape – living at home longer, benefiting from higher household incomes, and having access to the gig economy.

This means they have valid reasons to question the traditional nine-to-five grind. They're not just being difficult, they're making informed choices based on their circumstances.

This insight is crucial for us in leadership roles. 

Our focus needs to shift. It's not enough to offer standard job perks. We need to build a workplace culture that speaks to their values and offers something more meaningful than just a salary.

Strong, engaging cultures are essential now. We need to adapt to the changing norms and preferences of this new workforce.

As leaders, our job is to create workplaces that they are excited to be a part of.
