We are witnessing a clash of expectations in today's workforce.

Some employees want flexibility, meaningful work, and employers who invest in their personal and professional growth. And they're not afraid to look elsewhere when these priorities aren't met.

On the flip side, other employees expect every team members to exhibit the same level of commitment and work ethic they've demonstrated for years, regardless of workplace perks.

While there are important messages for both sides to consider, I can only cover one in two minutes. So, here's a one-sided view that, admittedly, deserves more nuance. Nonetheless, I hope it sparks some productive thinking and action.
