Answer the following questions in full sentences:

Which companies have a good work culture? Name three and explain why?
I've heard companies with a good culture include Google, Adobe, and Microsoft. They all have good reputations. I'd assume that one of the reasons their work cultures are good is that they allow their employees freer reign and give them wriggle room when it comes to creativity.

What factors contributed to 'The Great Resignation?'
A: Factors that contributed to the "Great Resignation" include such things as a lack of advancement opportunities, trends of low pay, bad treatment at work... mostly the low pay, I'd assume.

What is a bad manager and what habits do they have that are counterproductive to creating an enthusiastic workforce?
A: Bad managers are managers who aren't very concerned with their own performances and are generally either play fast and loose with their responsibilities or are overbearing while acting on them. Bad managers tend to have habits such as a tendency to micromanage everything, an inflated ego, a tendency to pessimism, etc. All these traits will make your employees hate you.

Why is remote work becoming more popular and why are there a greater number of employment opportunities now then there were just 50 years ago? Explain.
A: I think remote work is becoming more popular because employees like the fact that it allows them a more balanced work life. It's much more flexible than having to show up at the office every day. Why might there be more job opportunities nowadays? Well, I think that as more things become digitalized, more job opportunities open up in response. You know, new tech, new jobs? I guess. You need more people to manage and repair the digital, after all.

What is the biggest difference between Baby-boomers and generation X when it comes to work culture?
A: Baby boomers have a notoriously toxic (loathe as I am to use such a word, but it really fits) work culture. I notice this in my own mother. They're really, really focused on getting promotions, and they always say things like: "well, if you don't work your fingers to the bone, you'll stagnate and you'll never be promoted! They'll promote the younger employees instead!!" I guess they're very attached to the company structure. Gen-Xers, on the other hand, have more of an entrepreneurial tilt and a "get out there and carve out a slice of the pie for yourself" mindset. They're not such corporate simps, I think.
