RE: Millenial's Setting Course for the Future

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

Very interesting. That gets me thinking. I work with millennials every day and they drive me up the wall. Their work ethic is almost completely absent and they seem incapable of, or indifferent to self-improvement.

But I realise that this isn't their fault. They are a product of the society in which they group up. A society that hated competition or discrimination, that took a pacifist approach to everything, that strongly encouraged dependency, that promoted the culture of entitlement, that nurtured children in an unnatural way. It's sad because it left millennials at a disadvantage: ill equipped to deal with the real world. But we all play the cards we are dealt, and fortunately the tech-savvy card is a potent weapon in the Millennial arsenal.

As they gradually mature into older adults, and finally learn the survival skills denied them in early life; I believe that the Millennial generation will have a very positive effect in forcing draconian business practises to be updated or replaced.

After decades of lip service, perhaps we can finally look forward to paperless offices!

P.S. millennials: I will never forgive you guys for popularising the likes of Bieber and Nikki Minaj. That one remains on your heads!

Sort:  

Not sure which millennials you work with but I've found that they don't really fit the "lazy, entitled whiner" stereotype all that much. Sure. Some of them do. But slackers dog every generation, letting otheres pick up the load.

It's probably compounded by a culture of entitlement specific to my country (for historic political reasons). The work ethic of young adults here is off-the-charts low. Quite sad.
