What's really, really funny is as millennials are entering leadership positions, they're complaining about millennials. They're also complaining about Gen Z. It's just really funny. I just appreciate the irony so much. But yes, of course, there are cultural shifts. Society, companies are living, breathing organisms that necessarily have to change with changing tastes, changing politics, changing technology. Younger generations now are the most inclusive generation. You know, they don't care where you're from, what the color of your skin is. They don't care what your gender identity is, what your sexuality is. They understand that gender and sexuality are different things. For them, it's a big nothing. They're just a very inclusive generation. And it puts a lot of pressure on organizations because this young generation expects that other organizations are as inclusive as they are, and they are perplexed when those organizations are not. So, yes, I think that's one example of young generations exerting positive pressure on the changing culture of companies. And there are others, of course.
