Gen Z – the generation born between 1997 and 2012 – has received a bad rap for laziness, entitlement, emotional sensitivity and poor communication skills in recent years. Since they've overtaken their baby boomer grandparents at the office, the changes are already showing for some of those managing them. "They don't want to work. They're spoiled brats," Portnoy said Thursday on "Varney & Co." "They've grown up in a world where it's [an] everyone gets a trophy generation, and...
