I live at home. The home I own. I'm solidly in Gen Y, and have turned down job offers that came with more money/better stock options because where I'm at now has the best vacation/time off policy. That policy is providing my employer with a discount on my employment services.

If recruiting/keeping Gen Y employees is an important part of your business, I'd challenge you to consider whether your attitude toward work may be different than your employees, and whether you could make changes to that attitude that would 1) save you money and 2) improve your employee retention.

I obviously don't have a stake in this, but trying to understand where your employees are coming from in terms of different generational values might benefit your business.
