I don't blame younger workers one bit for not putting up with manshements crap.

Remember, people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad management.

Under the gop, a new breed of arrogant self entitled jerk has entered management ranks, and higher ups just encourage them to mistreat and screw workers.

Treat people with respect, pay them what they deserve, and you won't have a problem workforce.
