It's neither cultural or generational - it is that the younger generation has been coddled too much. In prior generations you did the job, or you found another one. And in that job, you learned how things were done and you did them and once you were proficient and understood the job then you were allowed/encouraged to contribute suggestions on how to improve things - but you had to earn that right.
I first learned JCL then I learned how to do 'jobs' on a PDP-11 and then how to run a 'job' using a card deck on an IBM 360 model 30. All were different and I had to learn all of them. Just because one was different didn't mean it was better or worse - it was what it was. You learn things and become proficient in what you have. We also had to learn the culture at the company and fit in - not the other way around. Lionel B.
