I'm sure you'll find some overly idealistic people in the mix, but the article mentions clear trade-offs that young workers are willing to take.

Some of them are willing to take a pay cut in order to work less, and they're being called lazy for it. My argument is that it's not laziness, it's the belief that they're better off fostering their personal relationships and passions than adding the extra money in their bank account.

I don't disagree. My comment was more about the general malaise and Outlook in Generation Z. That said, I don't think the article really supports the idea that they would readily trade time for money. Only 13% of the respondents said that, which is pretty Slim. I wonder what the crossover is between those respondents and the top 10% earners.
