Millennials in the Workplace Training Video

[@e.grogan7856]

When I was 12 y.o. my big brother got his first job. Naturally I wanted a job, too. So I asked my dad if I could work in his office. He thought about it and, being a Depression baby, he was thrilled I wanted to work. I worked in his office after school and everyday on vacations for 10 yrs until I finished college. I was taught how to answer the phone, how to work, how to get along with co-workers and how to do what the boss says without arguing. My dad's been dead quite a few years now but one thing I really appreciate about him is letting me work in his office so I would know what work was like. I'll be 64 soon, and I kept on working until I got sick a few years ago but it stood me in good stead and I NEVER was without a job, not ever. Thanks, Dad, you gave me a huge gift that I"ll always appreciate. Work makes people a little better because you have to learn to put up with people you may not like. You learn alot of skills that way.

I'm a millennial and most of my colleagues are, as well. This video speaks truth. So many call in 'sick' so often yet they feel it's appropriate to complain about having no money on a daily basis. They'll also complain about the bosses (who are minimum double their age, if not triple) when they tell them to pick up the pace. It's labour work and the bosses work with us. A 20yr old male shouldn't be working half the pace of a 60yr old man and expect to hear nothing about it.

[@ceilingunlimited2430]

About fifteen years ago I applied for a position that had opened up where I worked, although I had only been there a short time, maybe a year. I didn't expect to get the job, and I didn't, but I had an interview with the boss shortly after who wanted to make sure I wasn't disgruntled about it. I wasn't, I just wanted to plant the seed that I was interested in moving up as opportunity presented itself. Over time it has worked out. I'm not sure a kid today would understand the nuance of what I was doing.

I used to be an assistant manager at a grocery store where I would routinely work 60 to 70 hour weeks and get called into work in the middle of the night all the time. I went in one morning at 2am to fix the deli department and by noon I finally needed a break. So I told the millennial who as working in the department and got there at 10 am, that I was going to finally take a break and get food. He threw a pan at the wall and yelled, "But I need to take my break! I've been here for 2 whole hours! I need to get off my feet because I'm hypoglycemic! This isn't fair!" I replied, "well I've been here for 10 hours already and haven't eaten this week yet," He stomped his little baby feet and screamed in my face that the reason I was able to work these long hours was because I didn't have a rare blood disorder. I asked him why he didn't make me aware of this rare disorder when I hired him and he said nothing. (Because it was bullshit) So I told him to go to break and go rest weary legs. When he got back from his 15 minute break, which always lasted 35 minutes, I fired him for excessive breaks and he started crying. He got caught shoplifting at that same store a couple of months later and told the cops it was my fault. When the cops had him in custody in my office I remarked to the officer, "don't be too hard on this lad, he can't be on his feet for more than 2 hours because of a rare blood disorder." We all laughed and I won.

@D2M5 I'm a father and I will never blame my children if I give them a terrible education. I'm afraid to tell you, but 100% percent of the responsibility for our children is ours, no matter what the world brings outside of our house, they are still our kids. You say there are too much "advice" on how to raise a child, most of the time contradictory... well, that is not the kid's fault. You should be able to think and to decide properly. It was our generation and that of our parents that create such a mess of contradiction regarding how to raise a kid and will be on our children to find a way out of that mess. Do you want a free advice? Make sure your kids know that you love them (don't forget to use words for that), that you also make mistakes, but overcoming the mistakes and trying hard to do your best is essential. And of course, if you have faith in God, let them see that you live up to your faith. Just as a curiosity, in my country the expression we use for "bad-mannered kid" would be translated to "bad-raised kid", which is ironic because when you use it you are immediately criticizing yourself, although we use it automaticaly without paying attention. But the expression shows who is really to blame.

[@garymerkel6153]

Employers complain about the work ethic and attitude of millenials, but they won't hire older workers (like me) who have a proven record of dedication, strong work ethic, maturity, adaptability, and a sincere desire to make a contribution to the team. This caliber of employee is available, but you don't want us. .

[@ThingsILikke]

No offense, but many of the older workers I have worked with will ban together and try to get rid of the younger people because they see our energy, good attitudes, and youth as threats. They will kiss the boss' ass to not work weekends, and people ive worked with will believe my contribution was actually the old person's contribution, soley because I am young and they are old. Bosses somehow do not fire these trouble makers. I quit the job that did that to me for a long time (somehow did not believe me that the old troublemaker was causing all the mistskes) and started my ecommerce business. That company went out of business and now all the old people are out of a job. I think baby boomers think that the world is still how it was when they were kids. Most boomers hate milenialls because we make them look old. I think boomers gotta get over their own vanity and see its a bloodbath for a millennial in the workforce, good people get taken advantage of and most bosses do not know how to run a company. That's why millenials like me learn to be difficult and assertive when we need to be, cuz it's our fault somehow when we get taken advantage of

Well In what did you mean by "special"?

[@angelacarleton9575]

I created my Millennial but they were taught by me since they were toddlers to do things for themselves. The most important part as a parent I learned is to give your child the feeling of being "independent." That is what I did. Little by little you set patterns first making their beds - even if it isn't perfect, then help with putting their toys away - then helping set the table and or making salads with you together - then you can praise them for their efforts they were 5 or 6 when they were doing more each time. I praised them for their effort and they were happy and wanted to do more! You must start as early as toddler because the personality of any child is set at 7. Both children are grown Millennial and one is an architect engineer like their father and my daughter works for the government like I did and got promotions all the while I was learning new skills and making more money. So you see - it is up to you parents - to take the time.

[@angelacarleton9575]

It's one thing to tell them they are special but the truth is teaching them to be independent so "they" can make decisions. What I learned early on in life - I had to do for myself since no one wanted to help me at home. I self- taught myself and by God - used the library as "the source" for knowledge. This of course, before the "internet" which has the advantage of being able to look up things more quickly. However, I taught my children not they were special but to realized the possibilities that were available to them - I purchase a computer during the early part of the 1990s and despite their father not wanting them to learn I saw the value of computers as a stepping stone for their advantage while in high school. In fact, when they got to college they had the knowledge of software due to my computer. They were so advanced they both thank me for helping them learn computer. They ACE their courses in computer while in Auburn University! Always a parent seeking to help make their independence available. Both are now matured 36 and 35 work one works as architect engineer like their father and the other like their mother in the government.That was their choices! I'm proud of my Millennial because I taught them "INDEPENDENCE" instead of being Special!

Next day he came back to work like he hadn't just quit the day before because it turns out the job he was sure was in the bag wasn't. Sorry, already turned in your termination. Good luck in your future endeavors. Don't know if he ever tried to get unemployment, I hope it was contested by the office since he quit and I have witnesses to it.

[@proudpatriot6567]

As a millienial, this holds true for a lot but not all. The only thing that somewhat hold true for me is the not moving up. I've worked 1 job 7 years, and another job 10 years and people who just started and who I've trained are getting the promotions. I've been told it's because I'm 'great where I am' but all the people I've trained moved up past me and I can't get ahead.

[@gangfire5932]

I heard one solution for this is to be proactive -- do a pre-emptive strike and groom yourself for those better positions, and make sure your bosses know you've done so. If you don't get the position anyway then argue your case -- why you're a better candidate than the person promoted, etc. In some companies looking for a better job is also sometimes the only way to get a "promotion", and let your bosses know that you're looking, and why -- they're forced to ask themselves if promoting you or hiring and training your replacement is better. (Often a promise will be made, like "We'll promote you when the next position becomes available". If they lied and pass you over again then don't even bother giving them notice -- find that better job, gather your things, tell your boss you're leaving and why, and walk out the door.) If you find that job tell them you're leaving and ask them, "How do you like where I am now?". Like many supervisors who have no idea who their best or worst employees are (a _very_ common problem) some bosses don't realize they're losing an outstanding employee until it's too late.

[@proudpatriot6567]

@t2k777 I'm a millennial, yes. But I bust my ass off at multiple jobs 7 days a week, for years. I'm not asking for promotion without putting in the loyalty and the work. Clearly, I do well as I'm the one called to train all the new employees *at both my jobs* and, I'm the one they go to whenever they need help. Asking for a promotion in a vacant job, after now working at those jobs now for 8 and 11 years, is not 'entitled.'' I'm surprised that after reading my comment, you didn't understand the context of not just working at a place, but being the one your *multiple managers* trust that they have you train every new employee for years. Seriously, the entire meaning of my comment just went right over your head. Did you feel a breeze as it flew by? Typically, when that happens, that means you're good at your job. The entitlement you're talking about typically means the person is expecting special treatment; and a lot of times, without putting in the work. No, I've been giving 100% for years, I never take days off, I have seniority over *most* of my coworkers, and I'm the one that everyone goes to for help and concerns. Applying for advancement at the jobs I've worked at for years is not entitlement. After this comment a year ago, my coworkers have now noticed and raised the issue with me themselves. They've been asking me, and a few of them have been getting angry on my behalf. As of now, there are no new vacancies at my jobs, but the last couple of times it happened, my coworkers kept asking me if I had applied yet. I did, but still nothing. Now, I'm searching. Only an employer who wants to gaslight their employee to stay under their thumb or an idiot would read that comment above and make an assumption that I was entitled. Remember, when you *assume* you make an *ass* out of *you* and *me*

[@billthompson9002]

I've never worked with a Millennial, but this argument goes back forever. The parents of the 60s were criticizing rock music and thought that Baby Boomer generation was horrible. Get off my lawn! Same as it ever was. But Baby Boomers do deserve some blame, though. The difference, today, is that if you got a useless degree in Women's Studies from Berkley in the 60s, you didn't graduate with $80K in debt and you could still get a high-paying job. A record number of graduates, today, are taking low-paying jobs. A record number are living with their parents at an older age (and now they can stay on Mom & Dad's health insurance through age 26). And the other difference is the USA has not had an annual real GDP growth of 3% in 10 years, which is a record. These Millennials don't know what it's like to have 5-6% GDP like every other generation. Maybe they need to go into a safe place before reading what I'm about to state, but the Obama recovery is the worst recovery this country has had. Just a fact. We have a record number of people on Food Stamps. We have a record number of people not in the work force - 95 million. It's Jimmy Carter 2.0 but the Fed has kept the interest rates low (so nobody is making money from safe investments). Finally, the Baby Boomers have brought in a record amount of cheap labor from India via H-1B visas. Less than half of the U.S. STEM graduates (science, technology, engineering, math) have a STEM job. The wages for STEM jobs have been flat since Bill Clinton! It's up about 1% since 2001! Yet people like Zuckerberg tell us we have a shortage of STEM labor and so we need to bring in MORE people from India, who get paid less than an American and send back billions to family in India, robbing the local economy of that consumer spending. Baby Boomers didn't compete with PhDs from India who make 60-70% the salary.

Bill Thompson Well stated. I agree that it's always been the job of the older people to be critical of younger people because their different. However, I'm a millennial and I must say there's a level of truth to these millennials being lazy. I am going to school and at the same time I work construction and have for a while. Whether it's work or school it doesn't matter. I can do three times as much work in half the time of my fellow millennials. And the sad part is that that is not an exaggeration. It's not like I work excessively hard; I just work at my regular pace and they can't keep up. I do share the quality of being late to work but the truth is compared to these others for work quality, I will be one of the few people who can probably show up late every day and never worry about getting fired because my comrades are lazy and often worthless. When I have worked with millennials, often it is easier for me to do the work myself than rely on others who do the work wrong anyway and then I just end up fixing it. I think the problem is that most millennials just don't care. They think if they get fired they'll find another job. No worries. Most of them have lived on easy street. Not something like the Great Depression where people had to do their very best if they wanted to merely survive. If things don't work out for us, we can just have mommy and daddy help us or better yet, we can have all the hardworking people pay more taxes to take care of us while we sit around and smoke pot. Lol It is motivation that is lacking among millennials. For some reason, these people don't have the drive that previous generations had. A lot of millennials are just content with not moving up the ladder. While hoping that minimum wage will go up or that government will redistribute wealth or something. If you are a millennial reading this, then please take this advice. No one can help you to be successful better than yourself. You are far more capable than you probably give yourself credit for but it will not be easy. You need to work hard. I agree one hundred percent with you about the state of our economy and the poor excuses for president since Bush senior or perhaps Reagan. And not only are we filtering in a bunch of foreign professionals that we don't need. We are turning away tradesmen who are really what our economy needs. People are wanting houses roads, you name it built. But we simply don't have the man power. It may be in part that the baby boom created so many people, now we are trying to run the same workplace with boomers leaving to be replaced by less people and not good workers either. I blame the left for a lot of the mess. They are the ones promoting the idea that we cant make a living so why try. And they are also the best at making that idea a reality by taxing the shit out of every industry. All that tax just raises the price for consumers so we pay all of it. Then they want to raise the minimum wage by some huge amount. All that will happen is that x amount of people will be fired to make the difference or yet again they will raise their prices meaning the wage raise did nothing. And thanks to the government, I pay 20 times what my father paid in tuition and he went to a very prestigious university compared to where I go. I know from simple observation that time value of money is not the cause of that. It has everything to do with the federal government giving massive loans out to every one and the schools knowing that they can charge whatever they want because the government will supply.

To go even further, gen x is from 1965 to 1979. That means the earliest gen x parents would have to have been birthing babies when they were 14 years old to make 'millennial' babies. I was born in 75 (gen x) and didn't even graduate highschool until 93. A very small handful of 'late' millennials were birthed by gen x. The baby boomers birthed the majority of the millennials.

That would be a perfectly reasonable view. But what you are forgetting is 3 highly party political initiatives in the 2nd half of the 20th Century. 1. The state decided on its own authority it was going to take a greater role in rasing said children. Its now reached the point where parents truly are only nominal parents. 2. The state decided on its own authority that it would no longer simply try to educate children, it was going to indoctrinate them instead....and with some truly poisonous values to boot. 3. Party political systems of government sees votes (and by extension the voters) as commodities. Any political system that views people in this way has a very big incentive to construct a society that millennial generally (though certainly not all) espouse, want to perpetuate and expand. The more reliant they are on government the more government controls us all. Now I am sure that although post war generations didn't want a world where their kids would be slaughtered by politicians for fake reasons, they also didn't want a world where they would be enslaved to them either. Its is possible to want the one thing without the other. Unfortunately politicians are virtually universally so criminal that for them its an either/or choice. For without it we will view them with the level of contempt and hostility they reserve for us.

My grandfather is triggered by certain questions about Vietnam, or if he is scared/caught off-guard. I have worked with abused women's shelters and things like yelling, violent speech or even the sound of a car horn can be triggers reminding them of the abuse and triggering a fight or flight response that cannot be controlled. Preliminary medicines utilizing psychedelics have shown promising effects in decreasing these episodes and stabilizing brain chemicals.

As a millennial I would love a followup video: _"Boomers working remotely during the pandemic - IT department mental health and motivational speech"_ . During the first months of this pandemic the IT-servicedesk at my previous workplace got totally overloaded with remote working boomers calling in, all asking utterly stupid questions. I worked there as software engineer and it got so bad that our entire R&D team had to postpone their own tasks, all to fall in as 'teleworking baby-boomer IT-servicedesk'. I did multiple remote desktop sessions with a couple of boomers and now I'm wondering why our system praises 'experience' as baseline for pay. At the snails phase boomers move their mouse cursor, I do in one day the same amount of work what they do in an entire workweek. As a millennial I've already quit former workplaces two times in the past 3 years. I don't swap jobs because I give up on my work, I swap jobs because I give up trying to energize a bunch of passively unmotivated know-it-all baby-boomers where I'm forced to work with! I understand that my time on this piece of space-rock is limited, so I don't like people who waste my time!

@@David-hm9ic Boomers invented lot's of stuff, under apprenticeship and leadership from their senior generations. Millennial's are stuck with an indecisive senior generation that keeps going in circles endlessly. A senior generation that lack any form of managerial and leadership skills, which could probably explain the failed parenting strategies most boomers applied while raising their millennial offspring. I'm a millennial myself and even I find most people of my generation kinda lazy, that's why the generalization in this video annoys the heck out of me. Just like you get annoyed when I generalize your generation. My first job right after graduation was in a software development company. I (as junior) found a major security bug in their networking stack within my first workweek, after my discovery their head engineer (boomer) started insulting me on a daily basis. As I couldn't do anything good anymore for that person I left for another company after a month. At my second job I worked for 1.5 years straight without taking a single day of, after those 1.5 years I quit because those boomers in management hadn't made 1 single decision or set 1 single priority during that whole 1.5 years long time-frame. Decisions and priorities that would create a more structured work environment for all dev's inside their company. The current company I work at has exclusively millennial's in management and as employees. Yes we all lack experience and constantly make mistakes, but making mistakes is part of progressions and means that decisions are made. It's easy for boomers to never make mistakes when they never make decisions while in management! Oh yeah, as a lazy millennial I also parttime freelance during evenings and weekends besides my fulltime job. PS: While I have the right degrees to call myself an engineer, I don't get what a piece of paper has to do with millennial's in the workplace. To be honest, I find it rather disrespectful to refer to people without an engineering degree with "just a...". That stupid piece of paper doesn't make you any more special than anyone else on this planet! The best 'engineers' I've worked with in the past had often no degree at all, that's because they actually understand what they do while most MSc owners just memorized everything from their textbook for their exams.

Aren't boomers projecting their insecurities on millennial's as well, following your logic? I'm convinced that boomers are a generation filled with very loyal and hard working people, thus good at working for a boss. However, the 'boomer' generation has never learned any leadership or managerial skills themselves and thus su** at it. It's mind-numbingly tiresome to work for a boss that never sets any priorities, or calls everything top-priority. It's frustrating to work with people that look down on younger generations, don't listen to them and plain-out ignores their existence at the workplace. It's infuriating when those same people make fun of us millennial's their ideas, yet steal our ideas the day after and run of with all the praise. I'm not saying everyone from the boomer generation is part of the issue, just like not all millennial's are lazy. There are many people from the boomer generation that respect younger people and are nice to work with. But just like there is some truth in many millennial's being lazy, there is some truth in many boomers being stubborn and impossible to work with. I've no issue as a millennial to work 100+ hours a week, if (and only if) I see the progression and results of my work combined with personal or financial gains.

Millenniels get a spot and think that the workplace should adapt to THEIR NEEDS, and that employers SHOULD CARE whether they are happy! What a culture shock when they find that in the real world nobody really gives a darn whether you are happy. What you will get is a pink slip if you don't do your job.

Our fault. We spoiled our kids. And to those saying these are just the normal growing pains every gen goes through. No they aren't The level of entitlement in millennials is shocking. They openly voice levels of expectation (most often with little or no foundation to suggest they deserve what they expect to get) that would be shocking 30 years ago. But for all that. It's gen X's fault. They are our kids - and we spoiled them.

[@alter3go411]

Even if you raised (or at least tried to) your children right, you would still have no control over the things they learn from their peer group and society as a whole. If I see what is going on on university campus in America these days I'd say that 3rd wave feminism has the lion's share in causing all these problems.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

alter3go I'm inclined to agree with that. When feminists ban Germaine Greer talking on university campus because she isn't radical enough - you know something has gone seriously wrong.

Oh my god, as someone born in 1999 (VERY in between), FINALLY everything is making sense. Now I know the things I find annoying about my peers is actually quite a common thing. I had someone break down because I don't "ever give praises or a nod that they did good work" and have always been told, "why are you always so *negative?*" Um, this is just work bud

[@jdsmith542]

The work ethic has seriously degraded, and the need for praise is amazing. I just fired a guy from my division for chronically being late 5-10 minutes a day. Right up to the final step he was still unconvinced it would happen, even though he was told it was a direct consequence. In his exit interview he looked at me and said "Five minutes...seriously?" I pointed out we had twenty applications from equally-qualified people for his job already on file, and would get more before we closed the application window.

[@jdsmith542]

Boo-Hoo. The rules are the same for everyone. And as you have noted, there are no shortage of hungry college grads. Measure up, or so flip burgers.

[@jdsmith542]

I shall, thanks.

[@maxel3g3nd]

Well I guess if you work at McDonalds the workplace schedule needs to be strict. In my case, I have been chronically late for years, but since I work in an industry that cannot easily replace highly skilled employees, they made an exception with me, plus well, I couldn't go to sleep any early because of shitty neighbours having dank habits of being extremely noisy between 11:00pm and 02:00am (no kidding). The 8-4 or 9-5 day, is ancient and needs to be changed. Flexibility is what needs to be achieved throughout most of the working world, unless you're in e.g. the food industry, transportation, or other areas where you need to be "on time". In office jobs where you just sit at a cubicle and don't interact with anyone, you don't need to be at work 9am sharp. Note: I'm not a millennial as per birth date, but I have the same habits. Working in a job where you need to be creative, is not where you need to be 9-5 sharp as being rigid kills creativity.

[@jdsmith542]

Wow. You can't meet standards? How sad. We get applications every week. The colleges keep cranking out people with degrees far in excess of the job pool awaiting them. For what we pay, we can pick and choose.

[@maxel3g3nd]

Jd Smith You probably pay minimum or low wage, for a job that requires minimal brain capacity and function. I am a professional hacker and has been that for several years on a full-time basis. You missed the point of my comment which clearly demonstrates that you're blinded by bias. Doesn't surprise me though, most people are unable to think beyond "the little box" that everyone needs to fit into, in their little world.

[@moralityisnotsubjective5]

19% of the work force? Put them in the fast food service industry and problem solved. There is a reason many companies won't hire millenials.

[@BushmansAdventures]

but that kind of work is beneath the Millennials....they want top tier "professions" and top wages right out of the hiring gates......why would stoop so low and work a slummy job like Mcdonalds etc? LOL

[@captaincalx667]

Because working a low wage job keeps us homeless. Working minimum wage jobs won't afford us the luxury of a 1 bedroom apartment or even a studio in some areas of the US. So we go to school, graduate HS, get a degree in our field, and you want us to work at McDonalds when we have our Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Public Administration, Business Accounting, or Clinical Psychology? That makes perfect sense...

maybe study a field that is not total bs politcal science lol thats such a bs job

DrawQuick2014 Please, learn the difference between "there" and "their". Sincerely, Grammar Nazi Stupid millennials! Can't even spell!

[@xcaleb70]

I think ZDoggMD is probably referring to the year 0 AD millennials. In Roman history, this is around the time Rome became an empire instead of a republic. One reason for this is that the emperors won people to their sides with handouts while the senate didn't (they were similar to corporate executives, owned everything of substantial value). These gifts can be compared to welfare in modern America, although how similar they are probably depends on your political views.

[@ZONEPRESSLLC]

Too funny but in a way probably true. I can see how that generation was entitled, enabled, and fortified with instant gratification - they had it all and that's when things fall.

[@monkeymox2544]

As a millennial, this is genuinely funny. I certainly recognise these attitudes, but it is obviously hyperbolic. I do think though that boomer's perception of millennial expectations is clouded by the fact that they don't think workplaces ought to be fair, or just, or enjoyable. To boomers, the only important virtue is 'getting your head down', and employers don't owe employees anything. I think millennials just have more enlightened expectations of work - there's nothing wrong with demanding to have a good work life balance, to be respected, and to be given certain basic rights. Boomers at least had the advantage of an environment where hard work actually paid off, and real wages could be expected to be a certain level. Millennials have grown up into a world where real wages are stagnant, and hard work just gets you more hard work with little expectation of improving your condition - that's if you're lucky enough to have a stable job, and not be working for below minimum wage in the gig economy. So aside from simply wanting fairer working arrangements, I think there's a degree of cynicism underlying many millennials' attitude to work - we know perfectly well that trickle-down economic models aren't playing out as expected, that we're perpetually saddled with consumer and student debt, and that our jobs are precarious.
