Hi all! I'm a high school teacher, and one of my students is conducting research about work/life attitudes of different generations for her senior thesis. She has a very short survey to supplement her academic research that I told her I would share here (for obvious reasons, I can't advise a student to go on Reddit...). Any responses are much appreciated!
If you have any comments (please be respectful, and remember that she's in high school, not working on a doctoral dissertation), please leave them below and I'll pass them on to her!
Generational Attitudes Towards Work

The "American Dream" only occurred for one class if people in the early-to-mid 1950s. After that, countries began recovering from WWII quickly, and our manufacturing sector began to shrink. Boomers born after 1960 never saw the cheap, abundant world that those born from 1946-52 enjoyed.

Young people knew they had to prove they were good workers before they got a raise. Some young people put in little effort first and expect to still get a raise. Also, we would be fired for talking on a phone while on the clock.
