Younger workers lack work ethic, good attitude

Some mothers want their sons to grow up to be doctors or lawyers or ministers.

My mom wants me to start a revolution.

Perhaps I’m overstating that a bit. But after last month’s column in which I asked whether today’s younger workers show the same work ethic and good attitudes found among my parents’ generation, my mom responded that "today’s generation needs to be inspired to be the type of worker your dad was. Maybe you’ll start a mini-revolution!"

That seems unlikely, but I did receive many interesting responses to the earlier piece — and not just from my mom.

Forty-one people voted in an unscientific poll attached to that column. Of them, 34 percent said today’s workers do jobs differently than older generations but work just as hard. However, 66 percent said today’s workers tend to be lazy and want rewards without effort.
