It's not a generational thing it's a certain people thing.
There is a woman in my boyfriend's office in her early 40's who has been milking her appendectomy(sp?) for a couple of months now. She was working half days for at least six weeks and still refuses to go back on the on-call schedule because it interrupts her precious sleep. Meanwhile, another co-workers wife went the hospital for an emergency appendectomy and was back in school full time a week later. I'm not saying it's not a serious surgery and it that it takes a long time to recupperate. I'm just saying that her co-workers are beginning to resent her constant absence.
