'The next generation of employees are not entitled, they’re educated': Boss furious after trainee ditches 3-hour meeting when she learned wouldn't be paid to attend

The next generation of workers is sparking a lot of conversation online, and for good reason. In this post, a man praises a minimum-wage trainee who told her boss she wouldn't be attending an after-hours, 3-hour-long meeting since she wasn't being paid to go. The man said he praises this next generation of workers who have the guts to stand up for themselves in the workplace, something he said took him many years to learn. Several other employees agreed, saying they are proud of this next generation for standing up for work-life balance and suitable compensation. One millennial said their generation as a whole was too compliant in the workplace, and she's glad today's "youngsters are causing them some grief." Others gave their opinion, chiming in that this next generation is forced to fight back, as wages are not keeping up with inflation, and generations like Gen Z are struggling to afford basic needs much more than past generations did. Overall, it sparks a good debate. Keep reading more below.
