As the Bob Dylan song goes, ‘the times they are A-changin’. It wasn’t long ago that someone would wake up, get dressed, and set off to work. It was the same story until the millennial generation came into existence. As their values and ambitions in life differ from their older generation, they are more focused on leading a more fulfilling life. They have a different set of values altogether and would not be pushed by anyone in their pursuit of it.
If you are a millennial too, you would know what I am talking about. You would see a millennial turning down a six-figure salary job and go work as a farmer instead. There are stories of kinds about the millennial generation and how they are the stark opposite of their previous one. It only makes sense that they have a different set of values when it comes to working too.
They are hard-working and spirited people, mind you. Still, they seek comfort wherever they can in the job. It should enable them to lead a more fulfilling life. Many companies realize that and give options to its employees to work from home. They know that their employees would give their best when given a suitable environment to work in. That has resulted in a revolution.
