I think this really applies to all employer-employee relationships.
He's is just being introspective ...

Most people change jobs because of better opportunity.. That can be either a better position ,better benefits or more money.. Want to keep people happy, then pay them higher than anyone else and have better benefits and give them special job titles..

lol what a load of crock. In my experience, Millennials are the worst people to hire. Horrible work ethic...they want jobs, they just don't want to work.
Last one I hired wanted a month long (paid) vacation after working for 2 months.

The best people to hire are married men with a family. They always need more money.

Well I think all of you are incapable of adapting to new business realities. Sorry I bothered

[OldJeff]

Nope, won't hire one, just not worth the effort, my business does not exist to make people feel loved and or feel good about themselves. It is a simple contract, do this work, get paid this much money, the end.

Want to feel good about yourself, get a fucking dog.

You can probably count all your employees on one hand.

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"
