Why does it matter how many hours you work if you get your work done?
Do you have to come into the office, or can you work from someplace else?
Do you have to work standard work hours or can you flex your time?

High expectations but not as intense
Told by parent to NOT do what they did It’s not worth it Acceptable to move back in with parents (less financial
pressures)

Every generation has been less formal than the last one
Millennials prefer Informal Dress, but they also like to dress up for a night out on the town
Ask yourself.. What clothing communicates a professional
image to the clients? That Depends…..
