This was my thought as well. I am old enough to have heard many sermons about the 'me generation' when the target was baby boomers. The millennials piece could very well have been lifted directly out of one of those 'How to Manage Gen X' books; changing the Gen X terminology to 'millennial'.
A company has to have a pretty high margin (or a lot of slave labor) to coddle inexperienced employees without going broke in the process. Reeling this back to a business discussion, unless we are inclined to think that the fundamentals of business (competition, profitability) have been repealed, we will see millennials adapt to business culture or be faced with a lot of extra time to climb Mount Everest. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Nish-Lapidus Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 2:08 PM To: Joseph Selbie Cc: IxDA Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] The Millenials are coming Does every generation say that of the one older than them?
