Too many bosses delegate to the corporate template drones in HR.

Too many of the new generation are entitled brats.

Now we know why there are so many pointless and incoherent commercials on TV.

We made sure everyone was equipped with large, dual monitors a couple of years ago. We calculated our ROI and it has paid for itself in a short time.

Sometimes, it's just the manager that's the problem. I worked for AT&T Labs, and it took years to show to management that having bigger screens meant better work. A manager typing a memo only needs 15", a worker bee looking at lots of code or a big spread sheet can get more done faster or better with a big screen.

It's a general problem, convincing a manager that a relatively small expenditure for capital equipment can significantly improve employee productivity.

I had a discussion with a manager some years back, where I was consulting to the company for $$$, telling him that a couple hundred bucks for a removable drive would have him a lot of money in terms of my time. His response was "To buy stuff I have to write up a request to senior management justifying the need. Your time is already budgeted. Request denied."

I wind up using dual monitors for cross referencing applications, where one screen has a drawing in AutoCad, and another screen for modeling hydraulics (a calculation app) and a pdf of a pump curve. Quad screens I have used for control of process units (chemical plant).

When the collapse comes, they will be the most 2nd most harmed after the welfare-dependent population.

It is ironic to think that the millennials may end up being the next "Great Generation" because they will suffer the most since the Great Generation. Hard times, rampant unemployment, scarcity, hyperinflation, etc. These life stressors will harden just about any generation. The difference between these two "Great" generations is that the latter will be able to text mom and dad when they actually do get a job.

Let’s face it, the last good generation was the Silent or Korean War generation.

The 1960s generation, I liked their music.

This article seemed to be more of a little office whine than offering anything meaningful or insightful.

“Has anyone else noticed that it’s harder and harder to find proper candidates?”

Hire old people.

They probably need to suplement their pensions, and so would work for less than the punk trash.

“Your time is already budgeted. Request denied.”

People who should never be in charge of anything are in charge of just about everything.

I want one of these huge touchscreens:

(I lust after the screens Tony Stark uses in the Iron Man movies, and yes I know they’re just CGI)

Hard times + getting passed over for "affirmative action" candidates will produce a generation that will thoroughly hate non-whites.

Millennials were kept out of the kitchen because they could get burned. Gen X was warned not to touch the oven because they could get burned. Baby boomers were allowed to touch the oven and get burned.

It’s not just you; it’s been a disaster in the hiring pool and I don’t think it’s going to get better any time soon.
