Millennial-think, for sure.
Wait til the tail end Boomers retire over the next handful of years and disappear. They’ve been quietly working away, keeping infrastructure running smoothly, tolerating the HR and incapable new worker bullshit for years.
Then, we’ll see how things run...
I was thinking the same thing. I hope a lot of those people she’s talking about decide to go into the trades - otherwise, she’s not going to be very comfortable.
And she never told us what she perceived as the difference between ‘work’ and ‘career’ - or how she expects to keep herself in pretty jewelry and trendy decor. I guess she’s one of those people who thinks they’re going to make a million being YouTube stars - backed up by a healthy trust fund.
She did make a very few good points. A lot of us do put too much emphasis on success and money, and not enough on other things that matter more. I know one woman who ditched a six-figure job to work for half of that, because she didn’t like the job or want the stress. She became much more happy doing something she really loved, and has now worked her way up to making almost those six figures again, doing something that DOES make her happy. But that, also, required work and training. Nothing is ‘free’.
Hopefully, the young woman will grow up a little more (in addition to taking a very needed course in public speaking and English vocabulary and grammar).
Or marries a rich man.
I shudder at the thought.
