That wasn't an opinion, that was propaganda. It was and still is in his best interests that young people buy that line, because from his perspective young people are not so much smarter as cheaper: fewer commitments, willing to put up with longer hours.

Less experience to see through the bullshit from companies too and they do not yet really believe they are just a number in the cost center column in HR and that the company they are working with will not waste 1 second before getting rid of you.

That's quite true. Once people have commitments like a family, they are less willing to put up with companies that demand so much.

No family, but been around long enough to see through the bullshit.
