“Every generation would like a better work/life balance and I think the millennials are helping us see that, and maybe pulling us along,” said Terri McClements, PwC’s U.S. PwC initiated the study after it noticed an increasing number of its new hires were jumping ship after a short time. That does not mean they are a new slacker generation.
