Possibly, I suppose. I know the frustration for my wife is the time, effort and expense put into recruiting, hiring and training goes to waste when after a year or so, they decide it's not for them. And everyone is totally upfront about what the job entails so there shouldn't be any surprise when they get in the middle of an 80-hour week.
No doubt it's frustrating and expensive.
You can also go into something like parenting being told by those who've been through it how exhausting, frustrating, terrifying, rewarding, etc., etc., it is -- and then get in the deep end and find out it's beyond any expectation of all of those things.
I'm merely suggesting that there's more and more talk about how the current generation is taking a different viewpoint/different stand on things like career and lifestyle choices. Watching employer loyalty steadily erode over the past several years and the seismic shift in our economic culture doesn't necessarily indicate that is a viewpoint that's entirely without merit or simply the result of laziness, poor work ethic or lesser character on the part of the current generation.
