It may have been the case before that people thought hard work brought a better life, but now things have changed

Professor Bobby Duffy worked on the study, and said that millennials have 'become much more sceptical about prioritising work as they’ve made their way through their career'.

Well, yeah.

Maybe if you own the business and keep a big chunk of the profits. But for the standard "you get a salary" job? Yeah you're being robbed. That's capitalism.

"A worker pulls into the parking lot at work, and the boss pulls in right after in a new sports car. The worker says, 'wow what a car! How did you get it?'

The boss says, 'Tell you what. You work hard this quarter, hit all your numbers, put in some overtime, and I can buy a new one next quarter.'"
