A good friend of mine went toe to toe with his step-daughter this time last year with him wanting her to be a little more pro-active in finding work. The step daughter claimed there was no work out there. When questioned a little further, she claimed she was not going to be taken advantage of by working more then 4 days per week for less then 100k. No quals, no uni degree, 12 months out of year 12 and that is what she considered bottom conditions. Go figure.....

My question to this is, Who tells them this stuff???
where do they get that expectation from?
is is the school, is it TV, or do they just make it up in their heads?

schools etc. should be drumming in the reality of no qualifications = a possible $30k start, working in a drone like call centre, or slugging it out at coles or the like.
that would be education!

I think this is a symptom of the way that people now are made to feel special by having kids. Everything seems to revolve around the kids, with more money and time spent on them than ever before. Its made worse by people having only a small number, so all the attention gets spent on those kids.

So, what are they to think when they become adults? Well, "I'm special, my parents always told me I was, so I want this..."

Grow up with a bunch of siblings in a family with no money and I am sure your expectations of 100K jobs just don't exist.

There's no politics in it, its just parents making their kids feel "special". Its funny that you could have a large part of the population thinking they are too good to get a job and just sit on the dole, another part that thinks they are too good for menial jobs, and another part that will be funded by their family to create a startup.

Get over it grandfathers !!!

The issue that is arising here is that we are all getting older and our memories are fading. Go back to your late teens and early 20's and that egocentric attitude was just as strong all those years ago.

Many of the teenagers I know are great kids who are motivated, respectful and willing to work hard.

Admittedly social media has an ability to highlight the shortcomings and randomness of attitudes that may exist in some however, we are also slaves to it. Look at us go on this Seabreeze!

From a posting I put up a number of years ago...

OK I have a prediction for 2018 - It will become cool to not own a smartphone. It'll be the new black.

Wouldn't that be nice?!

All the cool people will be posting on social media about not posting on social media...hang on...how will this work???

The other day I was in a Sydney bar, and was looking in the printed timetable to decide which train to catch home. A girl sitting nearby (who did not look dissimilar to one in the video) saw me and remarked, "Oh, how cute!"

I should have pulled out my Nokia.

This response is a case in point. I was referring directly to the topic.

I chose to point out how you sound to you... I guess it's nastiness is relative to how you choose to perceive it... Individual experiences may vary...

BTW, apologies if you think being asked about the lifestyle changes you are making to assist to reduce carbon emissions is nasty... it's just a question...

The video was fantastic but could have been even better with Amy saying "whatever" as she stormed out.

A generation of workshy, stupid, selfish, irresponsible morons who are now producing offspring (god help us)
with even less redeeming qualities, there really is a need for a huge societal upheaval, a war perhaps?

West coast...

Here's another story... a couple years ago I was building an important system for a federal agency; I got sent ~20 CVs from various panel agencies. I filtered them down to 4 and sent them back to the PM to arrange interviews. I was later told I had to include some female candidates, which accounted for 2 CVs. Long story short I had to interview a female candidate or no hiring... she was an Iranian, not bad but not much help to me.

Why is there this push to get women in to tech jobs? I've never witnessed any discrimination against women it tech, but why try and force it on them/us? Where I work now there are 2 very competent Dev Op women, and they're respected bcos they can writing great bash scripts... actually I just remembered an incident where 1 woman told a senior infrastructure guy in a meeting that he had done something all wrong, he later demonstrated to me he had done it the only possible way, he wasn't happy he had been embarrassed but let it go... imagine if the roles were reversed?

Top vid!

Demonstrates well the pandering of children and teenagers in years not long past having obvious, actual negative impact on their mental resilience. It accurately captures the distracted nature of the millennial child, the apparent overconfidence in their ability to multi-task and failure to pay attention to anything not flashing before their eyes, seeking to blame others for their apparent misfortune, often caused by their distraction, crying for support from "human resources", a one person role which evolved into an entire industry with a mind of its own...

What actual research has been compiled that clearly demonstrates companies with gender diverse leadership have better business outcomes if such a low percentage of leadership positions are actually "diverse"? Is this glass ceiling/broken ladder rhetoric unending?

If you search for "interview broke internet millennials" you'll find ...well, the interview about millennials that "broke the internet".

I've been wanting to discuss this for a while.

While I agree with nearly everything he said during the interview, and it matches perfectly what most of the above has pointed out about kids being raised as "unique and individual snowflakes that will change the world", I take issue with his final statements. He says all of that but then suggests that businesses need to treat them special too, as if that is the solution; exasperating the very problems that he outlined the entire interview!!!

Drove me ****ing bonkers.

No! not "millenials" , what it is , is they are called "women" , you know , girls ("top job" and "interview with an applicant") !
"top job" does for "a girl"(psyche) without recognizing the era and mollycoddling e.t.c.
