For some people all problems are apparently caused by how "easy" new hires apparently have had it vs how "hard" is used to be back in the good 'ole days. Sounds more like jealousy, or the "I had to go through crap to get here, so anyone else that didn't is unworthy." While there is occasionally a bit of truth to be found in these arguments, I'm frankly getting tired of them.
In life, there are always people that have it easier than others. Getting jealous / angry at them is a complete waste of time. If you want more out of life, make it happen yourself and don't worry about how easy or hard someone else might have had it.
