Not only do these youngsters not know how to interview or be professional in a workplace, but employers don't know how to hire anymore.

Typical job ad:

Entry level _______________ assistant.

MBA required.

Must have minimum 6 years experience.

Must be proficient with ABC, XYZ, 123, 789 programming languages.

Starting pay: $9.00/hour

I'm certainly not defending the millennials, but why should they take their jobs seriously when companies don't take their employees seriously.

The ad indicates the law of supply and demand.

The supply is so great the demanders can get a real bargain in price

The same btw is true of young lawyers I think

***********************
The premises you posted are ridiculous, like with the MBA thing and $9/hour.

I was in various management positions with my employer for around thirty years and would never have hired someone fitting the image that’s been projected for ‘millenies’.

Employers hire people they believe they can depend on to properly represent them to the customers, compentently do their required on schedule and be at work when required.

Employers don’t give a damn about people with piercings, visible tattoos, weird haircuts or colors, or clothing that is not appropriate to the business.

People who are looking for work and just want to ‘express themselves’ instead of melding into what the businesses are looking to employ will continue to vote for Democrats to get their handouts from taxpayer dollars and further drive the USA into third world status than the Obama administration has managed to do since 2009.
