When discussing situations millennials face in the workplace, a new study indicates they are bringing conversations about burnout and mental health to the front of the stage.
Millennials are those born between 1981 and 1996. This generation now faces some criticisms for their viewpoints on how the world of work ought to work.
Fox News reports that a new study shows that some millennials may be taking things too far when talking about how much they have a distaste for work. One new Fortune poll indicates that approximately 35% of millennials rely on their parents to pay their bills.
While speaking on The Big Sunday Show, co-host Lisa Boothe said the following about these findings:
If youre a millennial, your parents are trying to retire, and youre taking their money like, go out and get a job. Its [really] just so disrespectful.
Boothe is a millennial, but she says she plans to raise her children to be tougher than many others in her generation. She is disturbed and bothered by her cohorts lack of work ethic.
Her co-host, David Webb, discussed how this issue arose during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said:
For the people that showed up, even say, during COVID and went to work when others sat at home and got a check, theyre now the bosses. So guess what, kids? and While you sit at home in Mommy and Daddys basement, playing whatever game and pretending youre the victim, your friend who graduated with you is going to be your boss.
Many millennials argue that inflation has made keeping up with bills harder. They also state that the rapidly rising cost of obtaining a college degree has yet to make life any easier. They say that it has become ever more necessary to obtain a college degree to get into a competitive career field, providing them with the kind of salary they require to live life the way they want. However, the cost of college has gone up rapidly as well.
Webb responded to all of this by saying:
This is a growing group of people from universities, a lot of them with higher education, who spend a lot of money, get into debt, and dont move on with their lives. The best anti-poverty program is a job.
He believes millennials need to figure it out and move on with their plans to improve their lives.
