Dolly Parton gave everybody a warning about the rigors of working a 9-5 job years ago, and millennials were paying close attention. They agree with many of the sentiments that Parton expressed in the song - it's no way to make a living, it's all taking and no giving, and they never give you credit. The routine work schedule of the past doesn't look like it's going to exist in the future at all.
Technology has made the idea of punching a clock in the office at nine in the morning irrelevant, and the 24/7 nature of many businesses has made shutting up shop at 5 pm undesirable. Unfortunately, that's led to longer working hours for millennials. 84% of them say they're often dealing with work emails well into the evening, but at the same time, 77% of them feel like having a flexible working schedule gets the best out of them in terms of productivity. We guess they just work harder than their parents.
