I’m not so sure about this.
My millenials are very industrious.
I know Boomers and Gen X that are incurably lazy.
I understand his frustration. No one wants the beaus hanging around, distracting staff from their jobs.
My 20-something kids are all industrious.
The one girl wanted to quit her new job after only a week though.
“It is SO boring!! There is nothing to do, I just sit around waiting for the next customer!”
She is now into her 3rd week and they have created her own job description so she can work in two of the other sections of the operation.
“Most of the employees are happy just to sit around waiting for the next customer. But if giving you more work keeps you happy - we want you to be happy working here.”
when ya’s git tuh work, ya’s git paid fuh workin’, not for lookin’ moon-eyed at each uthuh!!
the word is ‘work’, ‘work’ is rewarded with a ‘paycheck’..
a ‘paycheck’ is not an entitlement!
Sure, there are outliers, but on the whole I think he's spot on.
We were just talking about this at our staff meeting yesterday - that's why our company is doing whatever it can to keep us "Boomers" employed - we all retire and nobody'll be left to do the work.
Millenials are a mixed bag... far more on average than previous generations...
Some are hard working... a lot are lazy and entitled.
Generalizations are always just that... no one generalization ever covers an entire group of individuals.
