Made her arrival early this morning!
She’s beautiful!! Congratulations grandma!
You're lucky she didn't ghost you and simply disappear. It's been widely reported that this generation feels no obligation to give notice and apparently there are a fair number who just stop going to work. While this was more common in service and low wage jobs, the phenomenon is increasing in white and blue collar positions. This is allegedly happening because plentiful jobs and they can hopscotch to a new job whenever something irks them about their present one. I'm calling BS on that because regardless of one's golden opportunities, common courtesy should still matter.
The shoes for my stepson's wedding. My dress (still being shortened) is about the same color. My pointy toes and I will be deadly to anyone who dares ask me if they are comfortable
Whilst I agree wholeheartedly, this would be more contextually reproachful if [many] employers hadn't spent decades mistreating job-seekers and current employees in exactly these ways. "At will" employment goes both ways, and "good will" is a relationship, not a soliloquy - maybe this generation's irreverence will force [all] corporations to (finally) take that to heart.
The balance of power has definitely shifted to the employee side of the house due to declining birth rates (in the US at least) leading to a smaller available workforce. But today's millennials haven't been mistreated for decades -- as their parents were -- and in a fair number of industries (perhaps the majority of which are tech), millennial supervisors are supervising other millennials. So either they aren't taught how to be good supervisors or they don't care or a combo of both. Corporations have been rethinking their practices since the population decline was predicted in the 1980s. I remember trying to get my employer to pay attention to what the trends were predicting. However, as long as money rather than people remains the top priority of US businesses, the change you and I would like to see will be incrementally slow. I suspect US businesses will begin importing more foreign employees and exporting ever more jobs oversees if adapting to millennials' expectations has a negative effect on profit and investors. It will be interesting to see what happens when all the old men who run corporations and control boards retire/die and are replaced by a more forward thinking group.
Congratulations grandma, she’s gorgeous!
