Work = Fun?

We’ve all heard the old saying “It’s not fun, that’s why they call it work”.  Considering the significant change in the workforce expected over the next decade – with many of the baby-boomers retiring and the Millennial generation (or Generation Y) becoming more present in business, that just doesn’t seem to fit anymore. The Millennials are far more concerned with work-life balance, advancing quickly, and achieving a feeling of satisfaction with their work than with a lofty paycheck and life long job security.

The Bloomberg Businessweek article, linked below, gives a great perspective on this shift in thinking, and leaves you with some great points to think about.

To that end, we have fun to do, so make it a great day.
