  • Hello, my subscribers and my commentators.

  • It's David Hoffman filmmaker, And I'm concerned because this morning I read a report about millennials, and it says that 3/4 of millennials 3/4 of millennials have left the job at some time for a mental illness.

  • Concerns what I mean, That's really terrible, and it really upset me.

  • So let me just give you a few facts and my own feeling about it.

  • Younger people are dealing with mental illness at three times the rate of the general population.

  • There's a rising depression.

  • There's arises suicide.

  • There's a rising drug addiction.

  • There's a rise in alcoholism among millennials.

  • What's going on?

  • Well, I looked at the experts and his with.

  • The experts say there's a growing problem in today's work force and is what the pros say.

  • One.

  • Rising workloads.

  • It's true.

  • I can remember a time when most of the people I worked for had secretaries or they didn't have secretaries.

  • They had travel people who helped them travel, fax people and printer people who helped a print.

  • So I imagine the workloads are higher and harder in this day and time longer hours.

  • I don't know about that, but There's a lot of burnout now.

  • People are just working their butts off.

  • And when you add the travel time in the traffic time, many people are working more than 12 hours a day.

  • And, of course you work so that you can live a good life.

  • And many millennials can't buy a house.

  • They can afford a house.

  • So this is what the pros say is one of the reasons or the major reasons for mental problems when you're in the workplace as a millennial.

  • Others say it's sleeping less that people are sleeping less hours and they used to.

  • I think it's slightly under seven hours from Millennials is supposed to sleep eight, and some experts blame this on the rise of the cell phone.

  • And indeed, there is a rise in suicide and other mental problems connected right to the rise of the cell phone.

  • And these experts say that you're not really connecting with society face to face.

  • You don't have friends, you see and the difference is people become lonely and they become depressed.

  • And then some say it's the parents who have raised millennials to kind of not know how tough things are.

  • I don't know about that.

  • I raised my kids to know how tough things up.

  • But I'm a baby boomer.

  • So for those of you are millennials.

  • Did your parents not tell you it's gonna be rough out there in the workplace?

  • It ain't easy.

  • I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what some of the experts say.

  • So I asked myself, What do I think is causing this problem for younger people in the workplace, which is really upsetting to me.

  • I have a slightly different perspective.

  • The first is this.

  • At a time when I was young and younger people than me were young, you'll still remember this.

  • People cared about the companies they worked for.

  • They worked for 30 years for the same company they will loyal to the company.

  • And one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, is because the company was loyal to them.

  • The CEO is you felt working not only to make money but also to support the employees, worked for the company that's completely gone.

  • I see no loyalty, and I wouldn't have any loving myself.

  • Given the corporations are now dominated by Wall Street.

  • They weren't at that time.

  • Sure, they had to make money.

  • But one of the primary jobs that I heard from CEOs that I interviewed was I want my employees to do well.

  • I want him to be okay.

  • I want them to have good health plans.

  • I want them to feel secure.

  • That's my feeling.

  • That's the reason I feel that things have fractured in the workplace right now.

  • Yes, it's harder, but it's also disconnected.

  • Many people don't even feel loyal to the product they make like I'm not proud of my product.

  • I think that's terrible.

  • I am very concerned that the work I'm doing here is holds up my qualities.

  • When I get a criticism, if I think it's a legitimate when I try to correct it because I care, do you care about the work you're doing?

  • You care about the products you're making, all the things you're making, you care about the company you work for.

  • If you don't, that's tough and I feel bad.

  • I thought I would share this because I want younger people who are among my subscribers, about 40 to 45% to know guys like me, people of my generation We don't like that.

  • We want you to feel mentally healthy, secure.

  • Buy a house.

  • It's not good the way things are right now, and I know it.

  • And it's tough yet The sun is out right now.

  • If you could see it yet, I love YouTube and I love laughing, and I really appreciate all of you.

  • So I hope this was interesting.

  • Thank you very much for being a subscriber.

  • It's David Hoffman.

  • You take care.
