I am a Boomer approaching an early retirement. I am retiring not only for my own personal reasons, but I do want to provide my younger subordinates with an opportunity.

With that said, I will note that my generation and older valued hard work, diigence, and that you had to earn your promotions. The young now are an "entitlement generation" who embody the opposite. That may not be a popular opinion here, but as a Manager for 20 years is my observation.

Right, which is why you won’t even give us a chance. I have a degree, worked hard, actually paid the darn thing off. I’m really starting to get tired of looking for work and getting turned down.

Walk a mile in our shoes, and then see if you feel we’re the entitlement generation. You’ve had many, many opportunities that aren’t even going to be available for us.

As a 22 year old recent college graduate, I agree with that statement. Unfortunately that stereotype is branded onto those of us who eschew that type of behavior and we suffer for it.

Standing and applauding until my hands are bleeding...well said!
