BTW I hear all the time about "kids these days" etc

How Millennial's are just **** (They arent) and kids are spoiled these days

It reminds me that his happens literally every generation. Elvis shaking his hips was supposed to be the death of us all. Ladies showing their ankles in the 20's was going to lead to the downfall of society. Its all a bunch of nonsense.

Just happened to catch an episode of Andy Griffith the other day. At the beginning they were complaining about how Opie's generation is spoiled and want everything handed to them. Literally word for word what you hear to describe millennial's or younger people in general today.

Every generation thinks the one after them is ruining everything they worked for. That they are terrible

But it just isn't so.

BTW I am 45 and far from a millennial. I am just smart enough to spot BS when I see it.

Ha.. the reason I don't hire under 35 is the entitlement attitude and SAFETY.

Your loss.

Ah now see, that makes a lot more sense! Outdated ideas in an industry that’ll be mostly if not entirely automated within our lifetime. And my apologies for saying that you’re probably doing them a favor. I’ve now come to the conclusion that you’re definitely doing them a favor. Kids, learn skills that’ll allow you to get paid for your whole career, not just the next 10-20 years!

As an aside, I love when older folks whine about “entitlement attitudes” in younger generations. Remind me how entitled they are when your hand is out for monthly Social Security checks that they pay into but won’t ever see a dime of. Keep collecting those entitlements!

Except we aren't talking about government entitlements. We're talking about the attitude that they are entitled to as much as they can get without 'paying their dues' as soon as they walk in the door of a work place. Pay attention.

It's all good, though. Everyone has to grow up sometime, and some will catch on a lot earlier than others will.

Just like its always been.

that’ll be mostly if not entirely automated within our lifetime.

Automation has eliminated a lot of high paying blue collar jobs and will continue to do so. No amount of nostalgia or longing for the good old days is going to change that.

Its just the way the world has always worked.

Better be prepared.

Entitlements are entitlements are entitlements. Y’all love complaining about others without realizing your own hypocrisy.

“Them dang millennials just don’t know to act!”

If that’s true and such a prevalent problem, then who raised them? Take a look in the mirror, folks.

Amazing isn't it.

Again, I think its just human nature to complain about the next generation. That way you can feel a lot better about yourself.

I am 45 and I refuse to fall into that trap. Common sense tells me it just isn't true.

I’ve worked with a mix of younger and older people and have definitely seen this attitude you speak of. Thing is, it doesn’t apply solely to the younger folks. It’s almost as if attitude is dependent on the person and not their age. Tell a Boomer the early bird special ended at 7am and watch ‘em throw a fit just like a 40 y/o Karen does when told they can’t have a discount at the retail store for whatever inane reason they seem to think deserves one.

Ummm, do you think millennials are they only people paying into Social Security? I've paid into Social Security and Medicare since I was 16 years old without any say in the matter so you better **** believe I'm going to take whatever I can get back from my forced investment and it's not a **** entitlement. Now if the government wants to reimburse my deposits into SS for the last 40 years with interest, I'll be more than happy to take that reimbursement and take care of investing it myself for my retirement.

^^^^^^^ BINGO!

The point he’s making is that us young folks are likewise going to be forced to pay into social security with pretty much no hope of ever seeing that money when we retire. And even though entitlement may not have a connotation you like social security is by definition an entitlement program.

TLDR- football season needs to hurry up and start already

UGA_2019

Time to bust out the reading glasses, buddy. Seems like bigdawg didn’t forget his. You can complain about being forced to pay into Social Security all you want but I’m not going to feel a lick of empathy for you. You’ll see your money back, we won’t see ours. End of discussion.

As another aside, if you can’t make your point without cursing, then you probably don’t have a very good point to make in the first place. Just makes you look silly. True in this case as evidenced by a severe lack of reading comprehension skills.
