Simon Sinek

Everybody got their gold watch at the end of their career from the company that they worked for.

It doesn't exist anymore.

And so you have this young generation who's scratching their head saying, the company's demanding loyalty from me.

But if they miss their arbitrary projections, I get sacked.

I watch my parents get sacked.

They offer no loyalty to me.

Why should I give them loyalty?

That makes sense, right?

That makes sense.

My generation, we would work really hard, go above and beyond, do the extra projects, stay up, you know, work late.

Then we would go to our boss and say, hey, I've really been going the extra mile.

Can I have a raise or a promotion?

This generation, those in executive levels will complain.

They come and ask for raises and promotions without having done the work.

Well, if I were a young generation going that there's no stability and no loyalty, damn you, I'm going to cash in early and get that promotion and that raise.

And that's what they say.

Like, give me the promotion, the raise, then you're going to see what I'm going to do.

Which, if you think about the circumstances, the environment in which they were raised, makes perfect sense.

Like, got to protect numero uno because the company's protecting numero uno.

The company stopped caring about me, so I'm going to stop caring about the company.
