1) We have seen people being walked off after working for a company for 10, 15 even 20 years. When someone sees such a thing at the beginning of their career, it is difficult for us to trust companies and not look out for ourselves.
2) There are a lot more opportunities now than they were 20 years ago because how connected the world has become. It is easy to get information about new opportunities.
3) Management. One of the biggest reasons is that we were raised by you people in an ideal world. But well, it is not. We do have a problem of wanting things our way but it is just not our problem, the way the management functions is absolutely unbelievable. When you have your 45 year old asking us on how to sum up numbers on a spreadsheet - yes, that makes us question the capabilities of them. When the management won't listen to us and our problems and fails to provide us with the work life that we want - why not the f— jump ship? Just because you are jealous?
4) What f—ing demeanor is that guy talking about? We have seen many managers b—s—ting around. In fact, many just do that. Take advantage of us. You f—ers are also not saints, so don't expect us to be. You can yourself see the state Intel is in. The CEO taking up huge raises while walking off people working for 20 years in a single day. Is that the demeanor and work ethic and moral behavior you are talking about?
5) The skills argument. May be a only rational argument that there is. We do think highly of ourselves but that is only because the world has set such a low standard for itself lately. Also, if you talk to us, you will know that we are ready to be guided and told that right now it is not possible for us to get promoted. You need to learn more. And than comes the main part - sit with us and make a plan. Tell what is needed. If the guy does what you ask for, promote him. If you wont deliver on the promise - f— off. We are going off to do something else as the amount of work put in was worth it and we were not valued.
6) Yes, we are entrepreneurial. Thank god for that. We have absolutely learnt that we can not depend on one company for life given the current pace of changes in the world. Also, entrepreneurship creates jobs which is increasingly important. So, yes, we are entrepreneurial and you can keep s—ing up to the higher ups because you don't have a back up planned.
7) The financial crisis. Everything f—ed up. The exposes which have happened has opened up our eyes that we can't trust anyone. The big banks made a mockery of our parents and there was nothing that they could do. The wage growth has been stagnant. Housing conditions are deplorable. You people have f—ed us up in the arse. Stop with your entitlement and get working.
Instead of complaining about us, work with us rather than giving orders and bossing us around. We bring with ourselves a lot of tech savvy skills which are quite a time saver. Use us to bring them to the front. We are not lazy, entitled or anything. All of it is just in your mind. Stop with your entitled attitude. id–ts.
Also, please don't worry about our future, we will adjust and live our life with also taking care of the environment.
