More young people are saying the same thing: Salary and career growth are the most important things about a job. And it could explain why Gen Z workers are so much more unsatisfied with their jobs than their older colleagues.

    For a lot of older people, it is. It's actually pretty sad. Some of them don't even know what to do with their free time once they retire. That's why so many go back to work.

        Yeah strangely enough none of my grandparents who had decently sized pensions ever decided that retirement was too boring and that working was actually the thing they liked. Somehow they all found other ways to keep themselves occupied either gardening, helping with grandchildren, traveling the world or just reading a whole lot.
