Most the of Millennials i work with are job jumpers and are lazy. Some do work hard but most are looking for the next best thing.
Nobody ever made America great by doing email.
These work martyrs also don’t mind chatting endlessly or skyping with friends during those supposedly productive 50 hours.
My 20 year-old daughter interned at my company last summer.
Her manager said she was more productive and had better attention to detail than any of the 6 full-time members of the permanent staff.
There are good and bad in every generation.
Title should read: Most millenials are lazy, some are workaholics.
Every generation when young; was always said to not measure up to past generations.
This one is likely no different and will do just fine on the long run.
Yes workaholics. That’s why 40% of them are still living with their parents.
Gamer workaholics
Use to be I was a average worker.
Moderate and steady. Rarely miss days of work.
However in recent years I have become above average.
Although, I haven’t changed..
The millennials I’ve come across in my family and their friends are very hard workers. You might say even that they are obsessive workers. I think there are definitely two very different kinds of millennials. The one type is the one I’ve described. Then there are the wanna-be hipster millennials who think they are owed a living and would rather play on their iphones than put in a hard day at work.
They work hard at not working...typical teenagers.
I’ve met only a handful that were normal. Even then they were sensitive metrosexual types.
It takes a lot of time to maintain 1000’s of FB friends.
That being said my daughter sells real estate and FB is really important in sales.
Does that mean all millennials, or some millennials? Doesn’t say, so the headline and article are useless.
Stopped reading right there...
There are workers and lazy butts in every generation.
The “Greatest Generation”’s problem, imo, was not raising the Baby Boomers to be adults. So the BB raised Gen X to be a bit more self indulgent... which in turn made the millennials kind of stuck on themselves.
But the entire human condition is selfish. So we cannot blame anyone but ourselves.

There are good and bad in every generation.
Winter Wyman is a good company.
A significant number of ‘jobs’ now available are outright scams (esp. work-at-home jobs), “multi-level marketing” like Amway which is basically a legalized pyramid scheme, or commission only pay which is basically legalized SLAVERY. Even some places with honest *products* like Primerica have an MLM-type employment structure where the only prayer you have of making any real money is getting other suckers to sign on under you, AKA “building your team”. Some totally honest companies are also ‘hiring’ for jobs that start months in advance when what we desperately need is immediate employment.
I’ve had several offers in this week alone that were outright scams - either “work at home make BIG $$$” scams, front companies for places with very bad reputations, or ‘recruiters’ with obviously foreign names wanting to ‘represent me’ for jobs that I’m no way qualified for. Two companies that missed a total of five deadlines for final responses after a second interview at both. And one front company for Equis Financial (teamwork2wealth) with no pay and a suspicious recruiting site.
Bottom line: we’re at an incredible risk of getting a ‘fraud job’ if we don’t read the fine print and 3rd party reviews VERY CAREFULLY. If you DO get into one you either have to lie on your resume or look bad with an unemployment gap or a short period at a job. And even when we do everything right at an honest place we literally cannot trust anything we are being told because with “right to ‘work “, ironically, we have no rights at all.
Considering all this is it really any wonder that Bernie Sanders almost pulled an Obama and went from national nobody to nearly President?
