CBS on Millennials in the Workplace
Wed 28 May 2008 – 12.05
Millennials is the horrible, horrible name for the generation coming of age around the year 2000. I guess that includes me, although I figure I’m slightly old for that moniker.
Anyway, 60 Minutes has featured a clip discussing young people in the working world and how many of them (us?) are completely unprepared for office life. Who’s to blame for our awkwardness? Parents? Teachers? Television?
What’s your view on twentysomethings coming of age as business people? I’ve said many times before that I’m glad to see the twentieth century die a painful death. The only drawback is that it’s becoming harder and harder to settle in to a job where the employer wants to invest in a future relationship. Let’s not get started on that.
