A short spoken monologue by Chuck Thokey (uploaded by Jim Johnson) about the changing motivations of the modern workforce—especially millennials. Thokey argues employees no longer work just to perform tasks but to be part of something meaningful; they ask "why" rather than accepting authority. He emphasizes that showing employees they are valued and demonstrating care for their future reduces turnover, noting smaller locations often experience higher turnover due to employee insecurity.
