You may spend up to 40 hours a week working with them, but a new survey shows 68% of 18-24 year olds would sacrifice a work friendship for a promotion.
A new study of 11,500 people conducted by LinkedIn shows millennials are set on working their way up the corporate ladder, and willing to climb over friends to get there.
The competitive edge seems to come in hand with seeking a promotion, with 62% of senior colleagues, who ranged in age from 55-65, denying they would even consider it.
The study also outlined how many of the younger generation see work frienships as purely functional. One-third of respondents said they “think socializing with colleagues helps them move up the career ladder,” compared with only 5% of the older workforce interviewed.
On a happier note, half of those surveyed in the younger age bracket said work relationships help motivate them, keep them feeling content and a further 30% said these friendships make them productive.
