Associate shows up for our 9:30am meeting and says, “hey, can I run and grab a coffee real quick? I need it to start the day.” “Sure!” I say, thinking about how I woke up at 545am, emptied the dishwasher, made breakfast for the kids, got them ready, dropped them to school, cleared my inbox, and already took 1 client call before this 24 year old started his day… 😂😂

Eh. I've learned not to judge folks on stuff like this. We all have different sleep patterns, motivations, and priorities. I'm a go getter... But not a morning person. I'll straight up HUSTLE through hard core analysis and reasoning at 2am, but am useless before 7am.

Let the 24 year old enjoy this time , they may be doing what you are doing eventually in the future.

Life is not about slogging every day of existence

At the risk of sounding like the old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn I’ve noticed a much more casual nature in the younger employees.

Obviously this is a generalization and may just be my experience. But they seem much less concerned about how they present themselves and largely oblivious to how their actions are perceived by those they work with/for. Maybe this isn’t completely bad but it seems excessive.

At the core of it many of the younger associates I’ve worked with lately seem largely unwilling or unable to assume responsibility for, well, much of anything.

I agree. It actually started with some millennials (my generation) and has become more and more prominent with Gen Z (“quiet quitting”). I am hoping it is a blip rather than a deterioration of society

Today’s generation is more direct with their expectations (right and wrong). Over your long career you will be unfairly doing more or less work than others. I won’t sweat over it.

This is a pretty good mentality.

I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…
