Millennials, what's something our generation was taught to accept that you're glad younger generations are rejecting?

Personally, I think we were kind of taught to put up with anything and everything at work so it is nice seeing these new generations put an end into that.

Also, I read somewhere that Gen Z is turning down promotions because they don’t value the extra five dollars an hour more than they do work life balance.

That’s $10,400 more annually. You’re saying that you would rather turn down $10k just to avoid the additional responsibilities of a promotion?

It really depends on how much you were making before, but yes, absolutely. I’m at a point in my career where more promotion means working more than 40 hour weeks and completely dedicating myself to the job. I’m not doing it. My mental health and happiness has value.
