As a generation, millennials are often portrayed as redefining career success, valuing company culture, workplace friendships and a sense of purpose over traditional markers such as money and rank.
It’s an image that suggests a more collaborative, less cut-throat approach to building a career. Not so fast.
According to a new LinkedIn study, sixty-eight percent of millennials, which the survey defined as workers between the ages of 18 and 24, said they would sacrifice a friendship with a colleague for a promotion. That’s in stark contrast to the 62 percent of workers between the ages 55 and 65 who said they wouldn’t even consider the proposition.
