40 Boomer Skills Everyone Had in the Past That Kids Today Don’t Have

The traditional 9-to-5 workday is becoming a thing of the past, largely due to millennial influence. This generation’s preference for flexibility over routine is not out of laziness—a common misconception among older generations. Instead, it reflects a deeper desire for a work-life balance that deviates from the norm.

Younger generations demand a more flexible work schedule because they want to improve productivity and quality of life rather than reduce work hours. A Deloitte survey supports this, highlighting the importance of flexibility for family time. This shift in perspective may pave the way for a more adaptable and satisfying work culture.
