Ford published its 2024 trends survey after conducting 16,086 online interviews in 16 countries.
It found that 60% of American millennials would take a 20% salary cut for better work-life balance.
Baby Boomers were the least willing generation at 33%.
American millennials are over hustle culture.
Ford's 2024 trends survey, which conducted 16,086 online interviews in 16 countries, found that millennials in the United States were ready to step back from their desks.
About 60% of surveyed American millennials said they would take a 20% pay cut "to achieve a lifestyle that prioritizes my quality of life," which is 5% more than the global average.
US millennials were the most willing among their generational cohorts. Just 33% of Baby Boomers were willing to take that salary cut, while 43% of Gen X and 56% of Gen Z agreed.

(17,436 posts)Immigrants who are more successful than they are and they will rabidly agree they are.
But guess what? Those immigrants are willing to work 18 hour days, 7 days a week. They don't like it any better than anyone else, but they show up and clock in.
And when they start a business, their entire family gets behind them.
They succeed.
People will resent that. People will have racist attitudes over it.
But it's your choice. And, it's theirs.

Its not that people resent their success, they resent the rules ( costs) they dont have to pay, it makes the playing field uneven.
