Benefits, 401k, and Facebook, please

The Engineered Generation, my generation, knows what it wants. A very interesting, but not very surprising, study found that close to 40 percent of 18-24 years olds would quit their job if it blocked Facebook. As it reads:

A recent survey by IT services provider Telindus found that a whopping 39 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds would consider leaving their jobs if a Facebook ban was imposed, reports vnunet.com. Another 21 percent said they’d feel “annoyed” by such a ban.

The older you are, however, the less likely you are to ditch the gig for your scrabulous game:

Not surprisingly, the number of folks who’d consider quitting in response to a Facebook ban shrinks with age. Just 16 percent of 25-to-65-year-olds (an oddly large sample, if you ask me) would so so, and 13 percent would be annoyed by such a ban.

What can I say...We feel we deserve everything. Even the chance to tag you in that kegger photo album we just uploaded with a caption that reads: "nice form".
