ReplyDeleteThe author of this post uses anecdotes to get her point across, but I feel like that is a weak way to achieve your message.
ReplyDeleteI have my own anecdotes from my own experience working. When I was 12/13 I worked as an umpire, the head of this group was nice and fair. He treated everyone with respect and the overall moral increased. When I worked at a fast food place, the managers and older workers treated the newer workers like they were slaves and the results from this was a high employee turnover rate. When the newer staff was treated terribly, most of them called in sick resulting in staff who were having days off having to work, and this was from people who were in their thirties. I found that a better work environment resulted in better work from the employees.
Great logic Sam, anecdotes are not statistical data, but still I think they can be useful. I have read a lot of data about generational trends and your anecdotes illustrate a shift toward an expectation of working conditions that are enjoyable and supportive. Thanks for sharing your perspective on this article.
