There are plenty of millennials that work hard and keep their head down.

The broad brush that you're painting with rubs people the wrong way.

#4 is so true. Excuses for everything.

That's great, and I empathize with you. I'm dealing with a worker exhibiting

Does the drive through operator really have to give 2 weeks?

Once you put your liberal arts degree to work there, you should let us know.

ChubbyChaser

12/17/14 11:44pm

Don't even have a liberal arts degree. Guess I'm under qualified?

I guess I'm confused. You're upset with them wanting to find a better job?

tarzan15

I'm not upset with him for wanting that.

Hmmmmm, what's the common denominator here?

Yeah... maybe he should do a better job managing his employee

How do you have any clue what my management of that employee looked like?

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 7:16am

I had no clue... until you wrote a cb post about how you are failing at managing

I lost 1 individual and actually do very well with employee retention. But why

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 1:20pm

Lol, with your attitude, prepare to lose a lot more, Jack Welch wannabe

Each situation is different outside of stereotypes,but dude that video NAILED it

Because he's entitled to have them as employees

So millennials got their training from reading CB....you know....

My HCBW will be writing her doctorate dissertation on retention of millenials

MoveTheChains

12/18/14 5:13am

remind me again why we want to retain them?

Seriously, millennials suck. The cutoff is being born in 1985 or later right?

GenX: best employees, worst parents

Did the employee leave for a job in the same industry/ a competitor?

swishh_15

12/18/14 1:50pm

No it was a different industry working for one of my clients.

I tell people to consider how loyal their employer will be to them . . .

CosmoK

12/18/14 1:55pm

I don't demand loyalty from my people because that's not how I operate.

ChubbyChaser

12/18/14 2:02pm

Well, he's on a fast track to nowhere, then.

rare for employees to be given much loyalty at all these days, or so it seems

jonzy

12/18/14 2:07pm

Bingo.

CosmoK

12/18/14 2:16pm

Loyalty is a two-way street

the new economy looks a lot different than the one our parents were part of

blucoug18

So, someone quit working for you and they are to blame

It's funny how easy it is to pick out the millennials on this thread.

I'm a millennial.

It is a broad brush, but this Video struck a chord with me today. When you do

UbanUte

12/18/14 5:43pm

Even easier to pick out the terrible bosses
