I love this! I resonate so much about being lazy! My ‘laziness’ allowed me to improve processes in my previous work & turned manual reports that usually takes 3hrs per report to 30mins per report with the same outputs. Time is money. 💰💰💰
you millenials do not wrong. you asking for the things humans deserve. corporates doesent like that. they want you to be their slaves, sitting on your back getting you to do their work. they fear you. that corporates enslaved the prior generations, which are now a bit jealous and envy you for your freedom and not entirely accepting that old and crusty structures. if you manage to go well on your own, go for it. but whats true anyway, you also have to go, you have to walk, do your work, get your life paid. do it like you want if you can. thats the only proof you have to go for. this are my thoughts and greets. signed by a member of generation x.
Titles on the job do not mean anyone will follow you. You have to earn trust and lead by example. If you didn’t learn how to build relationships and mentor others, you aren’t qualified to be a supervisor or manager. I just got off a project run by millennial managers. They have no patience and do not understand that problems are solved by sharing ideas and listening. Consistently they issued commands and became angry if any questions were asked. In large all hands meetings, none of them ask questions or offer insights. When I did, they all proclaimed, oh my god thank you for saying what we all think. The lack of self confidence even to ask questions is real, and it results in personality disfunction and authoritarian manager behavior which is very destructive. They say one thing, but treat others very badly. I’m 57. I’ve never in 40 years of working, dealt with managers who have the same mental illness as my abusive authoritarian father, until I worked for these millennial managers. Kindness is missing in them. Getting all they wanted by tantrum, did not teach them to be kind or to have concerns for others or how to get the best out of the people they manage.
No us employers will just skip your generation all together! You need to conform to the work place and the employers needs, not the other way around. Your generation are the one's who better catch on.
@@jeffbevill3836 No. What if I don't want to? Will you kill me? Oh wait, I better commit suicide, so you have less slaves to buy and the production will go down to the Earth's core!! Hahahahaha (laughing ironicly)
@@jeffbevill3836 I wish people of your age knew what it means not being able to buy a house or a car after a degree in maths. I bet when you were 18 a house was worth 2 annual salaries of a blue collar worker.
@@Michael-jq1hl Hence the phrase "blue collar worker". Yes, we had to "work" to get what we needed or wanted instead of "expecting" it to be given to us.
I'm not sure what all the haters are talking about on this thread. What he says is very true. There's exceptions in every generation but the entrepreneurial minded person can and will be a companies greatest asset if they're handled properly. He never said millennials were completely opposed to taking direction from a boss. Millennials get nagged on a lot for being disrespectful and acting entitled but I don't think that's the case for most of us. I respect my parents and grandparents generation very much for working so hard, but that doesn't mean I want to do what they've done. Mostly because I've seen what that hard work has produced. Most of us are not afraid of hard work, we're afraid of hard work with no results, so we've decided to change the way things are done. I'd much rather have my income be based on my effort in owning a small business than have it based on a larger company that can lay me off whenever they want. And if I did work for a company I wouldn't fool myself into thinking for a second that they owed me anything beyond a paycheck, because they don't. Our view is shaped by what we've seen. I'm 31 years old and I've had peers laid off, by no fault of their own, 5 and 6 times already in their career. It's the reality we live in. Companies don't owe us anything, but they also shouldn't be mad when we start our own companies and compete with them. Most companies care more about their bottom line than employees, so our generation as employees have begun to care more about our bottom line than the company. Not saying either of those are bad, it's just the way it is today. Some people have a hard time understanding why you wouldn't want to give 50-60 hours a week to a company that you don't own so they call you entitled or narcissistic, we're actually observant though. We see where that logic has gotten the generation before us, which is pissed off, as evidenced by some of the comments below. Say what you want about this video but what he says is true.
Micah Loveless you are so right that most companies don't care about employees! They use people up then abandon them or force them to quit after the stress of the position has caused them to have serious health problems (such as a stroke.) Afterward, they hire 4 people to do the job that the one person was doing d/t cutbacks. We are so disposable and replaceable to companies, so that has shown me that if I have to call in sick, (which I have done 3 times in the last 12 years) the company won't go out of business.
And let's not talk about the different buying power of the salaries now and in the 60's. They could afford a house, two cars and a family with an average salary.
As an employer, this "doesn't work", or in other words, it's *not enough*. And it's even in the message in this video. Take as an example the guy who quit his high paying job to go a very risky project. (again, mentioned in this video)
Hey - you guys are so mean. I think he is well spoken and is expressing some ideas that us previous generations should listen to and not criticize. I teach millennials. The ones I work with are thoughtful, curious, and willing to work hard. But they definitely value autonomy and meaning in their work. Don't we all? And to be honest, if a millennial has a sense of entitlement and continues to live off mom and dad...perhaps you should think about who is actually to blame for that. Just say'n.
Agreed. Im a Milleniall but thank God before 2000. One thing... Noone is talking about how they are advancing in Internet and technology, but loosing everything human in them. They are now half robots litterally, theyr kids will be complete robots. And that is the biggest problem bc they are litterally killing humanity and we are letting them do it.
@@Michael-jq1hl Nope. You got Your info at the wrong place, or some1 lied to you. Millenials are from 1984/1985 and up. 1984 is still Generation X which followed boomers. Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012/15. They are currently between 6 and 24 years old
One reason Millennials create businesses is because they can. The age of the internet and IT has massively enabled this. I am a baby boomer and I remember how difficult it seemed to start any business. We had to raise large sums of money, have a lot of extra experience etc.
He reminds me of kids that show up to volunteer at homeless outreach centers right before the college applications go out. Just feels like something he just wanted to add to a resume. "Yeah - I did a TED talk - ha. I'm so accomplished. And I'm a business owner too all at this young age." **Never mind the that content of my talk is trivial or that my business doesn't really make anything of value.
I'm a proud millennial, and the lifestyle and philosophy discussed in the video is so much better than the ordinary philosophy of working 9 to 5 on something you hate to get money and spend it all to compensate. Off course they think we are wrong, they spent all they're life doing things they didn't like because they thought they couldn't do things they like and we're just proving they actually could.
I think that the example that this speaker gives about his programming friend leaving his well paying job to be a co-creator in a start up does not relate to the average millennial, because a skilled programmer with experience can get jobs very easily. There have been lots of successful web design companies, people even do it freelance, so the risk was fairly low, with a fair pay out.
I am one of those "Millennials" who is seeking to start their own business. Why spend your will working to make someone else's dream come true when you can pursue your own? I've waited tables for too many years and have gotten nowhere. So I am busy education myself in the art field, so I can start a gaming/anime business that will be even more successful than Disney. It will also reflect conservative values that can help provide an alternative from the political correctness agenda we see seeping into our children's entertainment. They want our kids, and it's time to fight back. That's what it means to have a real dream, and a real purpose.
I believe this video did not describe millennials but self-motivated entrepreneurs. do not confuse the qualities listed here with the qualities of this generation that is entering the workforce. These qualities have always existed in every generation that's what builds Nations
He and two others started a "web design" business..........how original. Might as well say you started your own business and became a carpenter for hire. Same thing.
I am a millennial and these types of messages drive me crazy. Giving a guide to employers on 'how to adjust to get millennials work for you' is a great way to encapsulate the stereotype that millennials are selfish. It is saying 'change YOUR style for ME.' This is a great way to be a loser in life and just wait for someone else to change circumstances for you to be happy. How about a different strategy, how about millennials take some personal responsibility and adjust themselves to the company. How did this attitude become so common in millennials? It's embarrassing to be part of generation that find themselves so important that they think others need to adjust to them without adjusting themselves.
It is all, of course, nonsense. Each generation has its share of motivated team workers, cynics and enthusiasts, sloths and hard workers. Stop generalising, and start treating people as the individuals they are.
How about employers pay livable wages, but I guess that idea makes me an "entitled millennial". Because I how dare I what to afford food, housing, and healthcare.
I think what us "millenials" have avoided is learning the hard way. There's some sort of expectation that having a degree entitles you to a superior job, but now that everyone has a degree reality is setting in. You have to work your way up.
Universal basic income and universal healthcare would allow us to pursue meaning over money. We could move from job to job without fear of being poor and destitute. We would be able to engage our creativity, embody independence, think more freely, and pursue what makes us happy. I pray millennials make these two humanity saving policies a reality so that our autonomy as individuals is not lost on corporations that would rather see us become automatons.
To not have affordable housing, universal healthcare, and living wages. Not to mention affordable education, or free education. These are simply crimes against humanity in this modern era. Majority of nations outside the USA have gotten with the times. The USA is all about enslaving, and dumbing-down the masses. The USA is owned by corporations, and elites. Politicians are puppets for them, and nobody cares about the people here. Not even the people, as they are indoctrinated to be gaslighted into believe EVERYTHING is their own fault.
*I'm deeply proud to be a millennial* . For those dissenters who don't help: Build a time machine and go to 1940, but leave people like me alone! Gosh...
I'm not sure what job application processes were like for previous generations but with an all-online process, you do an often overcomplicated procedure and then get... nothing. Silence. Heck, even a rejection is better than that. Being acknowledged as more than just a number, is that too much to ask? Even an automated rejection. With automate-able jobs being taken by machines (e.g. self-service tills, in factories), creatitivy is one thing we humans have that they lack. Also, trying to break into a field (metaphorically) when you have no experience to get the job to get to the experience... and so on. Catch 22.
In my ideal setting(which I have now) the second I get to my office let me work on my project alone and as long as I reach the company benchmark efficiency or better for the day don't tell me how to do my job. I hate working with people or being restricted to certain methods.
Oo oo I know the answer! Pay us proper wages we can live on! Also, current corporations don't have a corporate ladder to work up. They dangle promotions to motivate you but give them to people from outside the company.
Well he really personified a millennial specifically self entitlement. "Do this for us or else we'll take our talent somewhere else or we'll start our own" mentality all over his speech. I think there should be a balance of effort coming from both millennials and corporations.
"Keevin" is pretty close to the gaelic version of the name ie Caoimhin. I don't think it's a mistake in spelling. This guy is a self-relective version of his tribe so it can't be a mistake in spelling. I wish his prospective boss the best of luck in the interview.
The comment section is full people older losers who's trying to gain the respect they can't get in real life by belittling the generation that younger than his.
Millennia's don't want to be stuck in dead end jobs for the rest of there life trying to climb the cooperate ladder. Plus the world is different from Gen X and baby boomer millennia's.
@@jerrythornhill Have you seen our education system? You're luck we are even typing coherent English. If you want to complain about grammar, please go to a eighth grade English teacher, and ask them what they are doing to keep students engaged, and learning actual English.
Baby Boomers, (and I use that term loosely) because I'm at the tail end of the baby boomer generation based on my age and I've been paying into a system all my life that quite possibly won't allow me to see any of the Social Security or Medicaid benefits baby boomers in their 60s, 70 or 80s (or older) are enjoying now. How do you think folks like me feel about that? But I don't dwell on that and I understand all about a passion for a job. I had many mentors over the course of my careers tell me that if you find your passion and can turn that passion into a job, it (that job/passion) will never be considered a 'job' because you love what you are doing. For many of us we don't all have the same opportunities or choices, and so life kind of throws you a curve ball e.g. you don't know the people who can impact your career or link you with the right groups of people or a network who can help you make your 'dreams' or 'passions' a reality. Baby boomers have had to learn this from the ground up without the social network structure at their disposal that is available today. I don't see Millennials as some see them. I think it's great they want to start their own companies. Most job creation comes from small business and is not top driven by government entities. Government can set the conditions to make it easier for small businesses, but they don't create jobs...people and thereby Millennials do. I am trying to take all the lessons I learned 'the hard way' and help mentor my kids, one who is a late Millennial who will benefit from having mom and dad help him achieve his dreams by virtue of finding his passion(s).
I think you need to like what you do. If possible work should not be a total drudge hopefully. Still there are things you will have to do that won't be fulfilling. Welcome to life. However as time will tell you cannot eat passion. Your landlord won't accept it for rent. Macaroni and cheese gets old after a while. It's a balance as the "real" world isn't always kind. Passion and idealism morphs to a degree when it meets reality. By the way every single generation experiences these types of shifts technologies, social shifts, etc. Each generation believes it's never happened before. It has, so you might as well enjoy it.
Millenials tend to be poor team players. And this guy agrees with this. Thank goodness for the more wise and switched on Generation Z that can undo the shouty selfish ways of Millenials and who are more trauma and need aware
The autonomy thing is bs. He wants no set standard, removing the possibility to fail. Its minimum effort talk. He wants an excuse to not have guidelines and its moronic to say the least, and they already have autonomy in the real world. You chose who you work for/with/how by accepting the job. The autonomy he describes is moronically telling an employer that his employees should set the standards of his business, not market demands. This kid sounds educated, but displays a lack of understanding for how business works. His business is in the form of art, something that requires autonomy to function. But apply that freedom to construction, or other jobs where standards are much more attention to micro managing. Work should never be a passion solely. You need food on the table, and you have responsibilities and obligations. Grow the fuck up and do what you have to. If you fail the risk of a business you need to get a job. If it succeeds then good for you, but don't act like the freedom of owning a business is owed to you.
Yeah I agree with you, I get where he's coming from and I know what he means, but you can't have everything make you happy, sometimes you have to look at the positives and make your own happiness from the situation. And yeah strongly agree that work should never be looked at as just a passion as you need it for survival unless you want to ditch society and live how cavemen used to, other than that you're looking for free hand outs if you don't work because something as stupid as you don't feel passionate about your work, your not always going to and sometimes you need to find your own passion for it. Passion is a fairly easy thing to obtain.
You know man, complaining and telling people to get with the program never convinced anyone to do what needs to be done, You need to sell it to them, like any other product. Firms who hire need to give the millennials an identity they can appreciate and support. Companies these days are too much focused on profits, and give entry level no money at times calling it "internships". or if you like modern slavery. We get payed less and less to just make stuff that sells, like: "design a house that people find functional and that banks can use to trap people in endless payments" instead of " dreaming up homes where people can form a family". Things have changed much from the now dead American dream, and we have the guts to admit it and make a new one for ourselves.
@colddeed. You probably never owned a business, and reported to your Slave Owner. At this age he should be setting himself up by owning a business and keep on trying until he succeeds, an employer can fire his ass of in 50s and he is worthless and too expensive. As a Millennial I have that foresight. :)
@coldeed I think you misunderstood what he meant by autonomy. I love autonomy, and I love standards and goals, its what makes the whole thing fun and interesting. But what I can't stand is micro-management (this is not a standard). What micromanagement is essentially a fear of doing something different, fear of using a different method and achieve the same goal or fear of being irrelevant in the workforce.(on the manager part). And (on the worker's part) all it does it stifle creativity, cause feeling of inadequacy, and ultimately give up; because you can never get it right with micromanager.
He is stereotyping, by acting like nobody in our generation wants to work or succeed in life. When, our generation has the highest college acceptance right and employment rate. Yet, we all just don't want to work and live off our parents. Okay. I don't understand why our generation has such a negative attitude. It's a stereotype. We are getting looked down on, because of our age and all the false stereotypes that surround our generation.
Ok, so how does an employer deal with a Millennial who wants to perform work against what the employer wants or needs? How does an employer fill customer service needs if Millennials hired to do work that starts at 7:00 A.M. don't want to show up for work until 10:00 A.M.? Not every job can be done as employees want to do them, when they want to do them, and with whom they want to do them. There are customers to be tended to, who are the most critical part of any business. Without them, there are no jobs. Perhaps you can teach us how to get Millennials to do jobs that have more structure to them, because not every company is a tech company with the flexibility required of Millennials.
" if Millennials hired to do work that starts at 7:00 A.M. don't want to show up for work until 10:00 A.M." you think everyone do that? you will get fired if you do that everyday without a valid reason. Millennials also need to pay bills. What we want is to be able to pay bills! wages are stagnant but prices are going up. Companies are earning more yet we are earning less.
First, there is no valid reason to always being late. Second, companies are making more and employees are making the same money they were hire at which was agreed to by both parties. If you think you are worth more then should ask for a raise or find someone who believes your worth more than you are making. Remember, companies spend money to make money, employees don't have to pay to keep a business running. I work for a company that makes billions every quarter, but how much do they spent on electric, phone, internet, property cost/tax, materials, labor, marketing and all the other thing needed to run a company.
How much are you playing your customer service assistant? I just want to remind you that when you were young, probably, a customer service assistant could buy a house with his salary. Are you offering a salary that allowes to buy a house? If the answer is no, than don't expect people to behave like people used to.
I don't want the average millenial working for me. I have several in our organization. They aren't teachable. Arrogant in the extreme. Hiring older people again, where desire to work is strong and loyal.
This what happens when you tell your kid...you cane be what ever you want in life...Keevin...you were F'd at the start....2020...it didn't happen...they don't have to work because they were told to wait till the job comes to you....My 30 year old niece is still waiting... the college degree she got in business management hasn't paid off yet so she is still working at an auto parts store. But my sister is still paying her car insurance and her phone bill...As long as she never "HAS" to support herself ...no need to...
@Sakuri Sake Sakuri, here's a munk who deeply believes *you* said you will receive an award. I don't know, but I have clear what I would do with it (not him) if I were you.
Isn't it contradicting to say that millennial's wants to start their own business because they're too lazy to get a real job. You can go as far back as walmart or the hudson bay company. Those were started by average people. Those business's are real jobs for millennial's. Those founders started a business and it became huge. Is that to say that they didn't want a real job either.
I don't know where else to say this... I'm ashamed to be a mellinal! We are 1/3 the working population. We sit still and watch the .1% take our futures. We sit silent instead of answering the call to defend our freedoms and our futures. Time is running out... my expectations are high... I am feeling low and helpless. Where is our John Lennon? We should be ashamed and we will get what we deserve. What do you deserve? Namaste...
The collages need to teach how to enhance your creative imagination they don't do that,they teach you to be followers not leaders,you don't need a better job, you need to learn to live off your own investments not depend on wages.The collages don't teach the right subjects for the student to grow in creativity,they want you to be slaves to money or the banks.
He just proved what we already know about this generation, "I want your pay but I refuse to listen to you! Im unlike the rest!" When in reality they are all the same, who refuse to listen.
So you're not talking about running your own company, because companies would cease to exist when your generation doesn't want work for someone else. You have the dream but not the smarts. ;)
Let me just say as a Boomer that there is no magical conspiratorial agreement among us that we are all just lock step going to hate Millennials. We don't. Our pre defined opinions of you and the unflattering labels that we have for you are based on our experiences with Millennials. I think it is great for you and everyone that you are off and running successfully with your business that you created. Congratulations and good luck for future times to come, I mean that. I also, however, understand that a website/internet business is one that Millennials are more in tune with, they like the technology aspect of it and are because of it more easily motivated for the jobs that you have. But now that I have listened to you for 8 minutes lecturing me on what Millennials want and then some more of what they want and then what they want from me and I had better understand that I have to do this and that for Millennials, let me ask you a question: How are these fruit cake "Individual Creative developers" ,whatever you call them going to be motivated into high productivity in jobs like motor oil and lube change places, warehouse forklift operators or order filler, restaurant kitchen jobs, selling home insurance, etc, etc, etc. These jobs will also still need to be done and in the next 15 years or so, I'll be out, too old to work and it looks to me like...........have you ever heard the phrase ""the blind leading the blind""?
The whole point of a job is not just doing what YOU want and achieve, but also to contribute to the society. Every big company is a system and needs hundreds of types of job roles to function. This dumb idea of doing a "meaningful job" is the sole reason why millennials are big failures. You have to be a part of the system and even do boring jobs that ultimately makes our society better. We need all sorts of people in the companies and even society or else they can not function. Nobody aspires to be a Janitor or mailman throughout his life, yet, we need them in our society and corporations. You can hire 10 millennials, form a tech company and dream that you are your own boss and making an impact or doing a more meaningful thing but good luck running a billion dollar company with that attitude. This poor guy thinks he is delivering a great speech but he is too dumb to understand that doing only the meaningful jobs does not run the world.
@sumit bhatnagar. Thats the point. "job is not just doing what YOU want and achieve, but also to contribute to the society". Thats why Milliennials are starting companies, most of the roles are not defined but rather a combination of different roles/hats. Everyone's roles and contribution to the company is valued, unlike in a traditional company where its the job title, and no. of years that you've stayed with them counts. (completely a status thing, not an innovation thing. That is what I called entitlement.) Plus most traditional employers do not want to look at, or even entertain new ideas that serve the society today, and micro-managing because of their own fear.
OMG,,, we have those little brats at our work,,,, lol,,, And when they get their evaluations,,, they have their helicopter mommy's calling my office to dispute the company findings about their little princesses and prince charming, lol
What on earth, how are their parents still involved to the extent still? my mom never took my side even in school, she always assumed I was sub par unless proven otherwise.
Marshal Ironsides When I refused to take the call from a mom,,,, she actually came to my office wanting to sit down and talk with me. When I refused, she call the area director to request a sit down over her son's evaluation. My boss almost shit himself laughing. But he was polite and declined the request. And yes,,, these little brats even complain about having to be at work by 8 am and not getting of by 3:30 in the afternoon because it to long of a day to work.
How so? I still have a awesome life not expecting you to believe me( but I dont really care) and I get a bonus from these idiots that make me laugh by getting mad over the internet. Also you said IF, so there is still a large chance I have a life and your a bitch lol.
@ObjectivelyInoffensiveUsername Who said we are special???? I particularly wanted grown people not to (pre)judge us, only!!!! To let us doing things our way, a different one leaving the monotonous. Look, buy a time machine and go to 1950, if that's what you want. Because I will *never* abandon my time.
Not true , I have 2 millennial employees that are not motivated , had one that wanted time off with no PTO and said her daddy would pay her time off . We need her . She has no follow up skills , complaints , and only sees what is in front of her not the full scope . Doesn’t ask , just does what she wants . Skills on one directive are great but that’s it .
So, Mr./Mrs. Employer, conform to Millennial's way of thinking and make them "happy" or else they won't work for you. What a stupid argument! Employers will simply find someone else that will work or lobby for more H1B1 visas and hire a hungry immigrant. 🤔
+Wesley Crabajales first of all that "come back" made you sound like you're 10. and second I was talking to the OP. not you. hence the reason my message did not have "+Wesley Crabajales" in front of it
+Levi Derana not sure if you know how supply and demand works but when 50% of the workforce wants something, its going to happen. The same way employers adapted to the previous generation demanding safety regulations, and the one before that unions. If you can't attract the best employees your company will go under quick to someone who can.
Ummm we all work mindless jobs that give us a paycheck in the beginning. How fantastical millennials think they deserve more without proving themselves as good workers. If we could all start a business b4 we could work at one who would take your order or ring you up? Maybe I come from a time where you take what you can get b/c you need to pay rent.
I love this! I resonate so much about being lazy! My ‘laziness’ allowed me to improve processes in my previous work & turned manual reports that usually takes 3hrs per report to 30mins per report with the same outputs. Time is money. 💰💰💰
you millenials do not wrong. you asking for the things humans deserve. corporates doesent like that. they want you to be their slaves, sitting on your back getting you to do their work. they fear you. that corporates enslaved the prior generations, which are now a bit jealous and envy you for your freedom and not entirely accepting that old and crusty structures. if you manage to go well on your own, go for it. but whats true anyway, you also have to go, you have to walk, do your work, get your life paid. do it like you want if you can. thats the only proof you have to go for. this are my thoughts and greets. signed by a member of generation x.
Titles on the job do not mean anyone will follow you. You have to earn trust and lead by example. If you didn’t learn how to build relationships and mentor others, you aren’t qualified to be a supervisor or manager. I just got off a project run by millennial managers. They have no patience and do not understand that problems are solved by sharing ideas and listening. Consistently they issued commands and became angry if any questions were asked. In large all hands meetings, none of them ask questions or offer insights. When I did, they all proclaimed, oh my god thank you for saying what we all think. The lack of self confidence even to ask questions is real, and it results in personality disfunction and authoritarian manager behavior which is very destructive. They say one thing, but treat others very badly. I’m 57. I’ve never in 40 years of working, dealt with managers who have the same mental illness as my abusive authoritarian father, until I worked for these millennial managers. Kindness is missing in them. Getting all they wanted by tantrum, did not teach them to be kind or to have concerns for others or how to get the best out of the people they manage.
Oh my gosh, this summarizes it perfectly! Businesses need to catch onto this if they ever want to keep millennials engaged as employees.
No us employers will just skip your generation all together! You need to conform to the work place and the employers needs, not the other way around. Your generation are the one's who better catch on.

I'm not sure what all the haters are talking about on this thread. What he says is very true. There's exceptions in every generation but the entrepreneurial minded person can and will be a companies greatest asset if they're handled properly. He never said millennials were completely opposed to taking direction from a boss.
Millennials get nagged on a lot for being disrespectful and acting entitled but I don't think that's the case for most of us. I respect my parents and grandparents generation very much for working so hard, but that doesn't mean I want to do what they've done. Mostly because I've seen what that hard work has produced. Most of us are not afraid of hard work, we're afraid of hard work with no results, so we've decided to change the way things are done. I'd much rather have my income be based on my effort in owning a small business than have it based on a larger company that can lay me off whenever they want. And if I did work for a company I wouldn't fool myself into thinking for a second that they owed me anything beyond a paycheck, because they don't. Our view is shaped by what we've seen. I'm 31 years old and I've had peers laid off, by no fault of their own, 5 and 6 times already in their career. It's the reality we live in. Companies don't owe us anything, but they also shouldn't be mad when we start our own companies and compete with them. Most companies care more about their bottom line than employees, so our generation as employees have begun to care more about our bottom line than the company. Not saying either of those are bad, it's just the way it is today. Some people have a hard time understanding why you wouldn't want to give 50-60 hours a week to a company that you don't own so they call you entitled or narcissistic, we're actually observant though. We see where that logic has gotten the generation before us, which is pissed off, as evidenced by some of the comments below.
Say what you want about this video but what he says is true.
Micah Loveless you are so right that most companies don't care about employees! They use people up then abandon them or force them to quit after the stress of the position has caused them to have serious health problems (such as a stroke.) Afterward, they hire 4 people to do the job that the one person was doing d/t cutbacks. We are so disposable and replaceable to companies, so that has shown me that if I have to call in sick, (which I have done 3 times in the last 12 years) the company won't go out of business.
And let's not talk about the different buying power of the salaries now and in the 60's. They could afford a house, two cars and a family with an average salary.
1. Invent a currency to exchange for shelter and nutrients.
2. Offer said currency in exchange for labor.
3. I will work for you.
They already have said fiat currencies. The trouble is it doesn't pay for rent, let alone cost of living expenses in general.
Here's how: pay them a decent wage without asking for 15 years experience for an entry level position.
As an employer, this "doesn't work", or in other words, it's *not enough*. And it's even in the message in this video.
Take as an example the guy who quit his high paying job to go a very risky project. (again, mentioned in this video)
Hey - you guys are so mean. I think he is well spoken and is expressing some ideas that us previous generations should listen to and not criticize. I teach millennials. The ones I work with are thoughtful, curious, and willing to work hard. But they definitely value autonomy and meaning in their work. Don't we all? And to be honest, if a millennial has a sense of entitlement and continues to live off mom and dad...perhaps you should think about who is actually to blame for that. Just say'n.
Karin Kirkpatrick Campbell exactly. Just like the participation trophy thing. Who do you think were the ones that made that a thing? Lol
I've discovered millenials make absolutely excellent door props and I think this could really turn things around
Agreed. Im a Milleniall but thank God before 2000. One thing... Noone is talking about how they are advancing in Internet and technology, but loosing everything human in them. They are now half robots litterally, theyr kids will be complete robots. And that is the biggest problem bc they are litterally killing humanity and we are letting them do it.
@@hetjamesfield4473 after 1996 there are gen Z not millenials. It seems to me you are confusing the two.
@@Michael-jq1hl Nope. You got Your info at the wrong place, or some1 lied to you. Millenials are from 1984/1985 and up. 1984 is still Generation X which followed boomers. Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012/15. They are currently between 6 and 24 years old
One reason Millennials create businesses is because they can. The age of the internet and IT has massively enabled this. I am a baby boomer and I remember how difficult it seemed to start any business. We had to raise large sums of money, have a lot of extra experience etc.
Yeah, just a quick blog and anyone can be an "expert".
He reminds me of kids that show up to volunteer at homeless outreach centers right before the college applications go out. Just feels like something he just wanted to add to a resume.
"Yeah - I did a TED talk - ha. I'm so accomplished. And I'm a business owner too all at this young age."
**Never mind the that content of my talk is trivial or that my business doesn't really make anything of value.
I'm a proud millennial, and the lifestyle and philosophy discussed in the video is so much better than the ordinary philosophy of working 9 to 5 on something you hate to get money and spend it all to compensate.
Off course they think we are wrong, they spent all they're life doing things they didn't like because they thought they couldn't do things they like and we're just proving they actually could.
Depends who's paying for the food. If you're self sufficient go for it.
I’m an ashamed Millennial and I hate my generation.
They also did things they didn't like because they could afford two cars, a house and a family with it.
What can millenials afford with one salary?
I think that the example that this speaker gives about his programming friend leaving his well paying job to be a co-creator in a start up does not relate to the average millennial, because a skilled programmer with experience can get jobs very easily.
There have been lots of successful web design companies, people even do it freelance, so the risk was fairly low, with a fair pay out.
One of the most underrated ted talk
Awesome talk.Spot on. I'm a creative independt free-thinker. :-)
I am one of those "Millennials" who is seeking to start their own business. Why spend your will working to make someone else's dream come true when you can pursue your own? I've waited tables for too many years and have gotten nowhere. So I am busy education myself in the art field, so I can start a gaming/anime business that will be even more successful than Disney. It will also reflect conservative values that can help provide an alternative from the political correctness agenda we see seeping into our children's entertainment. They want our kids, and it's time to fight back. That's what it means to have a real dream, and a real purpose.
90% of new business fail in the first year.
I'm proud to be Millenial
What is there to be proud of? You are a failed crop.
I believe this video did not describe millennials but self-motivated entrepreneurs. do not confuse the qualities listed here with the qualities of this generation that is entering the workforce. These qualities have always existed in every generation that's what builds Nations
He and two others started a "web design" business..........how original. Might as well say you started your own business and became a carpenter for hire. Same thing.
Scary... and accurately reflective of current events & perspectives.
I am a millennial and these types of messages drive me crazy. Giving a guide to employers on 'how to adjust to get millennials work for you' is a great way to encapsulate the stereotype that millennials are selfish. It is saying 'change YOUR style for ME.' This is a great way to be a loser in life and just wait for someone else to change circumstances for you to be happy. How about a different strategy, how about millennials take some personal responsibility and adjust themselves to the company. How did this attitude become so common in millennials? It's embarrassing to be part of generation that find themselves so important that they think others need to adjust to them without adjusting themselves.
@Daniel Newman
Build a time machine and go to 1950. I won't abandon my gen only because an angry dissenter.
This!
It is all, of course, nonsense. Each generation has its share of motivated team workers, cynics and enthusiasts, sloths and hard workers. Stop generalising, and start treating people as the individuals they are.
That’s my guy proud to be a millennial
I don't care about what he just said. He is HAAAAANDSOME
after watching Simon Sinek talking on millennials this presentation is ... OMG, I'm speechless. I'm so happy I'm from the previous generation.
Exactly! A must watch.
Robert Geifman lol 😂 you’re old
How about employers pay livable wages, but I guess that idea makes me an "entitled millennial". Because I how dare I what to afford food, housing, and healthcare.
Exactly, boomers could buy a house with 2 years of blue collar salary and think we are the entitled ones.
That's because your special. Just like your mother said.
I think what us "millenials" have avoided is learning the hard way. There's some sort of expectation that having a degree entitles you to a superior job, but now that everyone has a degree reality is setting in. You have to work your way up.
Universal basic income and universal healthcare would allow us to pursue meaning over money. We could move from job to job without fear of being poor and destitute. We would be able to engage our creativity, embody independence, think more freely, and pursue what makes us happy. I pray millennials make these two humanity saving policies a reality so that our autonomy as individuals is not lost on corporations that would rather see us become automatons.
To not have affordable housing, universal healthcare, and living wages. Not to mention affordable education, or free education. These are simply crimes against humanity in this modern era. Majority of nations outside the USA have gotten with the times. The USA is all about enslaving, and dumbing-down the masses. The USA is owned by corporations, and elites. Politicians are puppets for them, and nobody cares about the people here. Not even the people, as they are indoctrinated to be gaslighted into believe EVERYTHING is their own fault.
Wow, I'm not mainstream in so many ways, but this description still fits me really well..
thank you, this is so true.
*I'm deeply proud to be a millennial* . For those dissenters who don't help: Build a time machine and go to 1940, but leave people like me alone! Gosh...
all the likes of the entire universe aren't enough for this
I'm not sure what job application processes were like for previous generations but with an all-online process, you do an often overcomplicated procedure and then get... nothing. Silence. Heck, even a rejection is better than that. Being acknowledged as more than just a number, is that too much to ask? Even an automated rejection. With automate-able jobs being taken by machines (e.g. self-service tills, in factories), creatitivy is one thing we humans have that they lack.
Also, trying to break into a field (metaphorically) when you have no experience to get the job to get to the experience... and so on. Catch 22.
In my ideal setting(which I have now) the second I get to my office let me work on my project alone and as long as I reach the company benchmark efficiency or better for the day don't tell me how to do my job. I hate working with people or being restricted to certain methods.
You need to get with the program, bud............there are "other" people in the company, not just YOU.
Oo oo I know the answer! Pay us proper wages we can live on!
Also, current corporations don't have a corporate ladder to work up. They dangle promotions to motivate you but give them to people from outside the company.
Exactly! Couldn't have put it better myself! :)
you're the man Keevin
The existence of this video alone is proof enough about the M gen.
Well he really personified a millennial specifically self entitlement. "Do this for us or else we'll take our talent somewhere else or we'll start our own" mentality all over his speech. I think there should be a balance of effort coming from both millennials and corporations.
This video is spot on, and I'm a millenial about to break out from the corporate ladder.
So you can create more corporate staircases? LOL
"Keevin" is pretty close to the gaelic version of the name ie Caoimhin.
I don't think it's a mistake in spelling.
This guy is a self-relective version of his tribe so it can't be a mistake in spelling.
I wish his prospective boss the best of luck in the interview.
The comment section is full people older losers who's trying to gain the respect they can't get in real life by belittling the generation that younger than his.
Millennia's don't want to be stuck in dead end jobs for the rest of there life trying to climb the cooperate ladder. Plus the world is different from Gen X and baby boomer millennia's.
Wow. I'm sorry you are so angry.
Great grammar. Does this guy even have an eighth grade education?
@@jerrythornhill Have you seen our education system? You're luck we are even typing coherent English. If you want to complain about grammar, please go to a eighth grade English teacher, and ask them what they are doing to keep students engaged, and learning actual English.
How to get millennials to watch a Ted Talk... make it 8 minutes and 41 seconds!
Baby Boomers, (and I use that term loosely) because I'm at the tail end of the baby boomer generation based on my age and I've been paying into a system all my life that quite possibly won't allow me to see any of the Social Security or Medicaid benefits baby boomers in their 60s, 70 or 80s (or older) are enjoying now. How do you think folks like me feel about that? But I don't dwell on that and I understand all about a passion for a job. I had many mentors over the course of my careers tell me that if you find your passion and can turn that passion into a job, it (that job/passion) will never be considered a 'job' because you love what you are doing. For many of us we don't all have the same opportunities or choices, and so life kind of throws you a curve ball e.g. you don't know the people who can impact your career or link you with the right groups of people or a network who can help you make your 'dreams' or 'passions' a reality. Baby boomers have had to learn this from the ground up without the social network structure at their disposal that is available today. I don't see Millennials as some see them. I think it's great they want to start their own companies. Most job creation comes from small business and is not top driven by government entities. Government can set the conditions to make it easier for small businesses, but they don't create jobs...people and thereby Millennials do. I am trying to take all the lessons I learned 'the hard way' and help mentor my kids, one who is a late Millennial who will benefit from having mom and dad help him achieve his dreams by virtue of finding his passion(s).
His parents are likely generation X parents.
millennial's did NOT come up with twerking. that's been around a long long LOOOONG time.
Bravo!
Distracted since he's so beautiful
I think you need to like what you do. If possible work should not be a total drudge hopefully. Still there are things you will have to do that won't be fulfilling. Welcome to life.
However as time will tell you cannot eat passion. Your landlord won't accept it for rent. Macaroni and cheese gets old after a while.
It's a balance as the "real" world isn't always kind. Passion and idealism morphs to a degree when it meets reality.
By the way every single generation experiences these types of shifts technologies, social shifts, etc. Each generation believes it's never happened before. It has, so you might as well enjoy it.
Millenials tend to be poor team players. And this guy agrees with this. Thank goodness for the more wise and switched on Generation Z that can undo the shouty selfish ways of Millenials and who are more trauma and need aware
Over generalizing much are we? Have you encountered every millennial in existence to date? In order arrive at such a lofty claim of a conclusion?
I beg to disagree
GenX rules!
TL;DR I'm a millenial listen to me! I started a business with 2 employees pay attention to me!
I'm a millennial. life begin at thirty five
Nice :)
Moron
The autonomy thing is bs. He wants no set standard, removing the possibility to fail. Its minimum effort talk. He wants an excuse to not have guidelines and its moronic to say the least, and they already have autonomy in the real world. You chose who you work for/with/how by accepting the job. The autonomy he describes is moronically telling an employer that his employees should set the standards of his business, not market demands.
This kid sounds educated, but displays a lack of understanding for how business works. His business is in the form of art, something that requires autonomy to function. But apply that freedom to construction, or other jobs where standards are much more attention to micro managing.
Work should never be a passion solely. You need food on the table, and you have responsibilities and obligations. Grow the fuck up and do what you have to. If you fail the risk of a business you need to get a job. If it succeeds then good for you, but don't act like the freedom of owning a business is owed to you.
Yeah I agree with you, I get where he's coming from and I know what he means, but you can't have everything make you happy, sometimes you have to look at the positives and make your own happiness from the situation. And yeah strongly agree that work should never be looked at as just a passion as you need it for survival unless you want to ditch society and live how cavemen used to, other than that you're looking for free hand outs if you don't work because something as stupid as you don't feel passionate about your work, your not always going to and sometimes you need to find your own passion for it. Passion is a fairly easy thing to obtain.
You know man, complaining and telling people to get with the program never convinced anyone to do what needs to be done, You need to sell it to them, like any other product. Firms who hire need to give the millennials an identity they can appreciate and support. Companies these days are too much focused on profits, and give entry level no money at times calling it "internships". or if you like modern slavery. We get payed less and less to just make stuff that sells, like: "design a house that people find functional and that banks can use to trap people in endless payments" instead of " dreaming up homes where people can form a family". Things have changed much from the now dead American dream, and we have the guts to admit it and make a new one for ourselves.
@colddeed. You probably never owned a business, and reported to your Slave Owner. At this age he should be setting himself up by owning a business and keep on trying until he succeeds, an employer can fire his ass of in 50s and he is worthless and too expensive. As a Millennial I have that foresight. :)
@coldeed I think you misunderstood what he meant by autonomy. I love autonomy, and I love standards and goals, its what makes the whole thing fun and interesting. But what I can't stand is micro-management (this is not a standard). What micromanagement is essentially a fear of doing something different, fear of using a different method and achieve the same goal or fear of being irrelevant in the workforce.(on the manager part). And (on the worker's part) all it does it stifle creativity, cause feeling of inadequacy, and ultimately give up; because you can never get it right with micromanager.
Sorry white man, you did not bring twerking...
What does it matter
dumb ass thats not what he ment. He meant are gen is doing stupid stuff like making it popular.
Well I guess my generation is going to need a shit ton of robots.
oh fuck i call will smiths role.
He is stereotyping, by acting like nobody in our generation wants to work or succeed in life. When, our generation has the highest college acceptance right and employment rate. Yet, we all just don't want to work and live off our parents. Okay. I don't understand why our generation has such a negative attitude. It's a stereotype. We are getting looked down on, because of our age and all the false stereotypes that surround our generation.
May I ask what a " college acceptance right " is?
Could be your answer lies within your question.
Would love to meet you some time as one entrepreneur to another!
Ok, so how does an employer deal with a Millennial who wants to perform work against what the employer wants or needs? How does an employer fill customer service needs if Millennials hired to do work that starts at 7:00 A.M. don't want to show up for work until 10:00 A.M.? Not every job can be done as employees want to do them, when they want to do them, and with whom they want to do them. There are customers to be tended to, who are the most critical part of any business. Without them, there are no jobs. Perhaps you can teach us how to get Millennials to do jobs that have more structure to them, because not every company is a tech company with the flexibility required of Millennials.
" if Millennials hired to do work that starts at 7:00 A.M. don't want to show up for work until 10:00 A.M." you think everyone do that? you will get fired if you do that everyday without a valid reason. Millennials also need to pay bills. What we want is to be able to pay bills! wages are stagnant but prices are going up. Companies are earning more yet we are earning less.
First, there is no valid reason to always being late. Second, companies are making more and employees are making the same money they were hire at which was agreed to by both parties. If you think you are worth more then should ask for a raise or find someone who believes your worth more than you are making. Remember, companies spend money to make money, employees don't have to pay to keep a business running. I work for a company that makes billions every quarter, but how much do they spent on electric, phone, internet, property cost/tax, materials, labor, marketing and all the other thing needed to run a company.
How much are you playing your customer service assistant?
I just want to remind you that when you were young, probably, a customer service assistant could buy a house with his salary. Are you offering a salary that allowes to buy a house?
If the answer is no, than don't expect people to behave like people used to.
Robert sinaga SH & Kevin O'Rourke
I don't want the average millenial working for me. I have several in our organization. They aren't teachable. Arrogant in the extreme. Hiring older people again, where desire to work is strong and loyal.
Many are useless.
"Arrogant in the extreme" that is a understatement. They are a failed crop!
now at amazon and many other book retailers.
This what happens when you tell your kid...you cane be what ever you want in life...Keevin...you were F'd at the start....2020...it didn't happen...they don't have to work because they were told to wait till the job comes to you....My 30 year old niece is still waiting... the college degree she got in business management hasn't paid off yet so she is still working at an auto parts store. But my sister is still paying her car insurance and her phone bill...As long as she never "HAS" to support herself ...no need to...
As a millennial I've been through more bad experiences with employers and bad decisions, than good experiences trying to get a job!
Poor you. Am sure there will be an award for your situation soon enough; LOL
@Sakuri Sake
Sakuri, here's a munk who deeply believes *you* said you will receive an award. I don't know, but I have clear what I would do with it (not him) if I were you.
You didnt bring about twerking. You made it classless.
For a speech meant to show people that Millennials are not entitled this sure reeks of entitlement. This, coming from a millennial.
Sweet.
Work w'ere passionate about with employers w'ere passionate about ....
Welcome to the Matrix boiiiiii
Isn't it contradicting to say that millennial's wants to start their own business because they're too lazy to get a real job. You can go as far back as walmart or the hudson bay company. Those were started by average people. Those business's are real jobs for millennial's. Those founders started a business and it became huge. Is that to say that they didn't want a real job either.
I don't know where else to say this... I'm ashamed to be a mellinal! We are 1/3 the working population. We sit still and watch the .1% take our futures. We sit silent instead of answering the call to defend our freedoms and our futures. Time is running out... my expectations are high... I am feeling low and helpless. Where is our John Lennon? We should be ashamed and we will get what we deserve. What do you deserve? Namaste...
The collages need to teach how to enhance your creative imagination they don't do that,they teach you to be followers not leaders,you don't need a better job, you need to learn to live off your own investments not depend on wages.The collages don't teach the right subjects for the student to grow in creativity,they want you to be slaves to money or the banks.
After 1 minute I stopped watching because I had no motivation to finish this video.
but who will put the caps on the toothpaste packages?
The toothbrush.
Im 24 I work for my dad company I make 60K/yr but Im hoping to quit by the end of the year. I hate working for him.
Am sure he loves working with you.
But... why would you want millennials to work for you?
why should they want to work for you is the question? what makes you the perfect employer?
not a bad talk but try more eye contact with your spectators.
He can't make eye contact because deep down he knows it's all bullshit.
Good point
Of course.
He just proved what we already know about this generation, "I want your pay but I refuse to listen to you! Im unlike the rest!" When in reality they are all the same, who refuse to listen.
So you're not talking about running your own company, because companies would cease to exist when your generation doesn't want work for someone else. You have the dream but not the smarts. ;)
Turns out your study was wrong. Sorry :(
Why?
Let me just say as a Boomer that there is no magical conspiratorial agreement among us that we are all just lock step going to hate Millennials. We don't. Our pre defined opinions of you and the unflattering labels that we have for you are based on our experiences with Millennials.
I think it is great for you and everyone that you are off and running successfully with your business that you created. Congratulations and good luck for future times to come, I mean that. I also, however, understand that a website/internet business is one that Millennials are more in tune with, they like the technology aspect of it and are because of it more easily motivated for the jobs that you have.
But now that I have listened to you for 8 minutes lecturing me on what Millennials want and then some more of what they want and then what they want from me and I had better understand that I have to do this and that for Millennials, let me ask you a question:
How are these fruit cake "Individual Creative developers" ,whatever you call them going to be motivated into high productivity in jobs like motor oil and lube change places, warehouse forklift operators or order filler, restaurant kitchen jobs, selling home insurance, etc, etc, etc.
These jobs will also still need to be done and in the next 15 years or so, I'll be out, too old to work and it looks to me like...........have you ever heard the phrase ""the blind leading the blind""?
Boomers sold us out; would not go there. LOL
Iowa, kids lol 😂
The moment he started with "I believe" I tuned out. It's the same as saying "you can call me Ishmael..."
The whole point of a job is not just doing what YOU want and achieve, but also to contribute to the society. Every big company is a system and needs hundreds of types of job roles to function. This dumb idea of doing a "meaningful job" is the sole reason why millennials are big failures. You have to be a part of the system and even do boring jobs that ultimately makes our society better. We need all sorts of people in the companies and even society or else they can not function. Nobody aspires to be a Janitor or mailman throughout his life, yet, we need them in our society and corporations.
You can hire 10 millennials, form a tech company and dream that you are your own boss and making an impact or doing a more meaningful thing but good luck running a billion dollar company with that attitude. This poor guy thinks he is delivering a great speech but he is too dumb to understand that doing only the meaningful jobs does not run the world.
@sumit bhatnagar. Thats the point. "job is not just doing what YOU want and achieve, but also to contribute to the society". Thats why Milliennials are starting companies, most of the roles are not defined but rather a combination of different roles/hats. Everyone's roles and contribution to the company is valued, unlike in a traditional company where its the job title, and no. of years that you've stayed with them counts. (completely a status thing, not an innovation thing. That is what I called entitlement.)
Plus most traditional employers do not want to look at, or even entertain new ideas that serve the society today, and micro-managing because of their own fear.
Why is that guy from silicon valley looking like a white guy
OMG,,, we have those little brats at our work,,,, lol,,, And when they get their evaluations,,, they have their helicopter mommy's calling my office to dispute the company findings about their little princesses and prince charming, lol
What on earth, how are their parents still involved to the extent still? my mom never took my side even in school, she always assumed I was sub par unless proven otherwise.
Marshal Ironsides
When I refused to take the call from a mom,,,, she actually came to my office wanting to sit down and talk with me. When I refused, she call the area director to request a sit down over her son's evaluation.
My boss almost shit himself laughing. But he was polite and declined the request.
And yes,,, these little brats even complain about having to be at work by 8 am and not getting of by 3:30 in the afternoon because it to long of a day to work.
Why,,, do you use,,, so many commas,,,?

How so? I still have a awesome life not expecting you to believe me( but I dont really care) and I get a bonus from these idiots that make me laugh by getting mad over the internet. Also you said IF, so there is still a large chance I have a life and your a bitch lol.
@ObjectivelyInoffensiveUsername
Who said we are special???? I particularly wanted grown people not to (pre)judge us, only!!!! To let us doing things our way, a different one leaving the monotonous.
Look, buy a time machine and go to 1950, if that's what you want. Because I will *never* abandon my time.
@ObjectivelyInoffensiveUsername
I do have reasons, and I won't like it anyway. Don't try to convince me.
Step one: Ask nothing of them
Step two: Pay huge amounts of money
Step three : Tell them they're special
Not true , I have 2 millennial employees that are not motivated , had one that wanted time off with no PTO and said her daddy would pay her time off . We need her . She has no follow up skills , complaints , and only sees what is in front of her not the full scope . Doesn’t ask , just does what she wants . Skills on one directive are great but that’s it .
Well, I got to say that this talk was useless. He had no value to add, just a story. I mean, seriously mate.
What are real jobs
LOL
Can we please hear from a typical millennial?
This millennial is motivated. His ilk are a lost generation.
grow up
Poorly don.... how come the best speakers do not do Ted talks and the shitty ones do?
wow, this guy is both misinformed and not funny/a good speaker...
Soo cheesy
So, Mr./Mrs. Employer, conform to Millennial's way of thinking and make them "happy" or else they won't work for you. What a stupid argument! Employers will simply find someone else that will work or lobby for more H1B1 visas and hire a hungry immigrant. 🤔
50% of workers are going to be millennials. If you need 10 employees and refuse to adopt to the mellinials And can only hire 5. Good luck.
are you that stupid? lol
+Austin Hodgkinson Nah, it's you who's stupid.
+Wesley Crabajales first of all that "come back" made you sound like you're 10. and second I was talking to the OP. not you. hence the reason my message did not have "+Wesley Crabajales" in front of it
+Levi Derana not sure if you know how supply and demand works but when 50% of the workforce wants something, its going to happen. The same way employers adapted to the previous generation demanding safety regulations, and the one before that unions. If you can't attract the best employees your company will go under quick to someone who can.
Ummm we all work mindless jobs that give us a paycheck in the beginning. How fantastical millennials think they deserve more without proving themselves as good workers. If we could all start a business b4 we could work at one who would take your order or ring you up? Maybe I come from a time where you take what you can get b/c you need to pay rent.
