I'm not a millenial but I work closely with a ton of peeps in that cohort. they're creative, energetic, not afraid to speak their minds, overall just fucking wonderful. I honestly don't see any difference in work ethic amongst peeps based on generation label
I get their work style because I share it. they tend to be less impressed by authority and stupid protocols and ladders and corp bullshit in general
loved this passage in particular:
Here's the truth of the matter: It's really not about Millennials at all. It's about people: human-to-human interaction, and the underlying issues with running a business that tend to run opposite of personal development. It's just that Millennials are the most vocal generation thus far, unafraid to speak up along the way about what they're feeling.
Managers want productivity; Millennials want to be judged on results, not hours clocked. Older business owners want them to follow their rules, their way; Millennials want to change how things are done to be more efficient, through using and interacting with technology
in chalking up peeps as lazy or entitled because they operate with different values in a different reality than older peeps came up with, I think business owners miss out on a lot. new ideas, new ways of doing things, and ways of valuing people that are tangible, not "here's a new job title that comes with double the responsibility at the same rate of pay because we've laid off half your department"
wicked article, gracias for posting
