In the modern context, Americans have historically focused on material possessions and wealth accumulation, while Europeans have prioritized work-life balance by taking more time off. Young professionals are advised to seek employers that offer a balance between in-office and remote work opportunities.

Employers are facing challenges as younger employees seek mentorship from older colleagues who might prefer remote work over in-person guidance.
