Of course they are, their contract runs out in 2 months and it's time to plan for the next leap sideways. Excessive onerous hours trying to look busy, grumpy old men expecting respect while giving none. Having to show your manager how to send an e-mail, then being scolded for technology they don't understand. Having a degree and put in charge of changing the Fax cartridges. No time for a relationship, seeing your best friend once a year. Having to drink with the same morons you work with all day. Pay might be enough for a 1LDK, food and some comics. Ah the joys, the joys.
of course that's not everyone...

There's far too much "work" done in this society. It's time play was emphasized more, with creativity and flexibility. Yeah, I can dream...

Japanese society must give more chances to people. The life to be free or stable is a question though.

I agree young generation in Japan positive about changing jobs, the contrasts of new experiences to find more challenges. I really wanted in my youth the system of this diversity in job experiences where I had many but the companies didn't like my individual history of many experiences, thinking I was a wanderer. The old generations had a positive mind to say lifetime employment was secure, but negative part of workers at afterwork drink-and-talk to complain working systems. However never to include those who changes work because of troubles here in there, something universal.

Globally millennials have in general a lower work ethic than previous generations. On paper they are higher educated but in the practice their knowledge often falls short. The problems come when they have to work under pressure and no previous generation have been facing so much burnouts in their thirties as the millennials.
I bet on their kids, the generation Z :)

If they are not happy, I hope they act upon these feelings. It's one thing to think about jumping ship in response to a questionnaire, another thing one to actually to do it.
Good luck to them! Here's hoping they can make things more flexible.
