I wonder how much of this is due to snowflakes being unable to find entry level positions that pay what they’ve been led to believe they’re worth. Heaven forbid you take an entry level job that has entry level pay. I read a study that showed that college students overestimate their income potential by around 50%. I worked with a millennial who was hired to perform a very specific function. After three months, she had that function handled, so she asked for a raise. Was more than a little ticked she didn’t get one, because she had “accomplished something,” whereas we argued she was just doing the job she was hired to do.
They don't comprehend the meaning of “paying your dues”...nor "earning" your way in the field of employment....Nor do they want to hear that.
