00:00Right. I think that's a pretty common complaint that we get when we talk about the younger generations of this era, I think.
00:11Right, Khalid?
00:15Millennial workforce, you jump around a lot.
00:19I mean, you know, jumping around is one thing.
00:23I think this is a little bit more of a question of integrity.
00:25I think a lot of the complaints that are being made and that I see going around, it's the question of integrity.
00:33And I think there's also a correlation between that and the lacking of soft skills, probably, that we have today.
00:42And it makes me wonder, like, is there a difference between the younger generations of today and the younger generations of back then?
00:48I think maybe there is, you know, the generation when our grandparents were younger, they may be young.
00:55And young people do questionable things.
00:59But I think at least the integrity was a little bit more stable.
01:04I wonder why, you know, I wonder what the factors are and such.
01:09Well, each person can make that decision.
01:12It doesn't matter which generation.
01:14Everybody has a chance to do right or wrong or take the easy way or the hard way.
01:19But I have I have done something to reduce my attrition.
01:23I have a gamification culture where I collect antique pinball.
01:28You know, there's things to do right or the same.
01:29I've done something to do right or the other day.
01:30So I mean, I think there's a big change to do right.
01:31And I think I'm changing each way to the right.
01:32And if you're trying to let the right to the right, you know.
01:33So I'm changing this lot more quickly.
01:34So here's another question.
01:35Can you say, I would tell the right?
01:36I think it might be.
01:37I think another question.
01:38Let's go.
01:38Let's go.
01:39Let's go.
01:40They'll do it.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Look at the right.
01:41Okay.
01:42Let's go.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Let's go.
01:44Let's go.
01:45Let's go.
01:46Let's go.
01:46You know.
01:47Let's go.
01:48Let's go.
01:48Let's go.
