I've always wondered, does the world look like it's constantly falling apart through the eyes of the previous generation of society? Probably. I'm already disappointed with the current wave of high-schoolers and they're only 8-11 years younger than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's in a tough spot without a doubt. That situation has no easy answers and while I pointed out what I consider a mistake, from my position that's a bit easy and maybe unfair to do. We all try and do what's right and best but sometimes what's right and best may not be the easier route. some people are born with work ethic/drive but most aren't.

If you're applying for a communications position, yes. I've had some colleagues in the millennium generation come and go in the last couple of years, and some good ones stay. It's parenting, imo. Some get handed everything since they were young whereas others are taught to work hard for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 God that was terrible. I can see what they were trying to do but that was some atrocious acting.

This is what I find kinda funny about all the millennial criticism- the generation that does the bulk of it is the same generation that raised them.

I've always wondered, does the world look like it's constantly falling apart through the eyes of the previous generation of society? i am very mindful of this assessment and constantly remind myself that my views of what works and is valuable is different from the previous generations and different from the generations after me they/we all have valuable contributions to make and often it is the failure to identify those contributions that creates some sort of gap since on the differences which are not valuable are highlighted i like to remind the older generations that whatever flaws my generation and younger generations might have we have not been directly involved in any war i am one of the few historically that can say my life has not been directly touched by war and is unlikely to be in the future the current focus on technology and electronic communication devices has less value to me then many younger people but that technology clearly has a lot of value the gap that has developed for me is my lack of appreciation for the obsession with electronic communication devices and i shake my head about what i observe in public places, buses, and particularly restaurants. .people in social situations buried head down on their phone communicating with people not present and seemingly ignoring those who are i am concerned social skills have to be eroding as a result time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last generation or so and certainly this one has(d) two working parents (assuming an intact marriage)....makes a big difference when you don't have time to raise your own children - whatever the reasons.

189lb enforcers? Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Ahh, yes, first the Entitled generation was raising our eyebrows at work and now the Gen-M is here, making it hard to say which group has its head up their arse the furthest, when it comes to work.

What role has the Feminist movement played in creating these past few labour forces that appear to be out of touch with reality, at work? Women have been proudly closing “the pay gap” by actually working instead of raising their kids at home. There were many discussions had about what a future generation of working mothers would produce when the family unit was under attack and women were staying in school and starting a career before having kids, and then choosing to stay working, rather than at home. There must be some data out there to weigh the past against the present in regards to what effect an absent monther has on those kids, long term. Interesting stuff.

For now, and admittedly I'm not a stat researcher by any means, it's more of an eye test for me. i won't be the person who says who should and shouldn't work. my point is is that there is an affect, generally negative, on kids who are not given enough time by their own parents, mother or father.

I don't know if there are any studies done regarding actual time spent with children, but there are studies that show it's incredibly easy to move up in economic social standing (almost guaranteed) if you do 3 things - graduate highschool, hold down a full time job, and not have children until you are married Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
