Thgat article does make sense and I can see its point of view. A lot of people simply are flipping lazy and dont wanna work. Heck, in some countries, you dont work=you dont eat!
Just the other night some family came into my store with freakin 7 kids....no one spoke english. The oldest must have been maybe 10 and she was holding the young infant feeding it with a bottle walking around, while mom and dad tried tending to the other kids, who were tearing up my dept. Freakin 7 kids??? Dont some people know how to put the brakes on after about 2, maybe 3, in these tough times??
Anyway, I found that article pretty true.
In a lot of ways the article rings true, but on the flip side, it feels like a lot of people are working harder and not getting ahead as much as you'd think.
I see both sides I guess. I've been in the same industry for a long time and I see a sort of entitlement mentality with a lot of the younger new hires. Some of them are just downright lazy.

I know this to be absolutely true!
I work with some young people who come in as late as they possibly can, take as many breaks as possible and then are completely put out if they have to do anything more than the bare minimum.
Now, I have a couple of kids in this age group, so I guess it is our generations fault for raising them with this slackard attitude they seem to have. Sometimes I think what we didn't instill in them....perhaps the economy will have to or they will be utterly useless.
A lot of food for thought in that article. I like the first paragraph under the section on how we don't want to sacrifice.
Tell me about it. My stepdaughter just told me about a couple she knows who are in their 50's. Their house is going into foreclosure and they are moving back home with one of their parents. They are both on disability but my stepdaughter has no idea why since they can both physically do anything. Anyway they told her they were losing their house and then proceeded to ask her if she and her husband wanted to go out to dinner.
What is wrong with people? We seem to be in the "everything now" society. I remember having to work hard to get things for your future. Now people just think they deserve everything now.
We will pay a huge price in the future for our greed and egotistical mentality. Someday we will fall because of our stupidity and laziness.
