Unfortunately, I don't think that is typically the case. (The exceptions are usually people who really really love their job.)

And apparently we've had some similar corporate experiences w/ Gen Y workmates. Though, I must admit I've worked with less than motivated co-workers from Gen X and Baby Boomers, as well.
