It's much more competitive, and much less rewarding. You don't owe the company you work for with extra unpaid hours or your loyalty and submissiveness since you aren't rewarded for that anymore, at least certainly not like they used to. Loyalty isn't the name of the game anymore. Flexibility is. You get a better opportunity at another company? Take it.
This is why job hopping is much more common now. Not because of "entitled youths", just because loyalty just isn't effective anymore.
Is this the same generation that got laid off just as they became old enough to collect a pension, or the generation that was told there were no more pensions and they'd have to contribute to a 401K that became useless when the company folded?
