It's very true with the younger crowd....

Those in their mid-30's and younger. Think about it.....
They entered the workplace during the largest economic boom in the history of the country. They were making money hand over first for a decade. They could easily job hop as there was a shortage of workers. They never saw a real recession. The only recession they've known is self-inflicted, and buffered by a government paycheck. Even if they were laid off, the Federal Government offered a huge UE bump. Everything they do they get instant feedback on. Social media, netflix, hulu, etc. Instant gratification.
We had to do our first (and hopefully only) round of layoffs not to long ago and when I addressed the company one guy (in his late 20's) asked if we have to another round could we give the employees a 3 or 4 week heads up so they can prepare for it?
That's not how this works. That's not how this works at all.

And be happy if there isn't. I've been living like that for 25+ years. Not sure if its better or not, but I'm always ready.
