The trust between employee and employer is as low as it has ever been from what I’ve seen.
People worked hard before because there was an incentive. Pensions, retirement benefits by a certain age and stability.
Millenials have seen boomers get screwed time and time again. I’ve seen people that were 1 year from being eligible for retirement health benefits for life and the company lays them off. A ton of companies don’t offer pensions anymore.
I left my last job in part because they stopped offering retirement benefits. It was age+years of service=75 to become eligible and they stopped offering it for anyone after 2023.
Companies are outsourcing jobs and laying off people in droves and want underpaid, controlled workers with shitty jobs and bad health insurance.
I’m glad this generation is starting to stand up to that. It’s bullshit
