Workers are urged to accept that every job contains a grunt element and to move past a desire for instant gratification. Young-worker disengagement is increasing, with Gen Z engagement falling five percentage points between 2024 and 2025. Average tenure for Gen Z in the first five years of work is roughly 1.1 years, compared with about 2.9 years for baby boomers in their early careers. Short tenures are linked to a desire for growth rather than pure job-hopping. Guidance discourages changing jobs impulsively, recommends enjoying current work, balancing life by working smart, and emphasizes that hard work remains essential for career advancement.
"There's going to be a grunt part to every part of a job. Get over it."
""Do not get a new job," Dimon said."
"Some people are always thinking, and they're ruining their lives because they should just enjoy what they're doing."
