So, my brother owned a strength and agility training center and had the opportunity to have interesting employee experiences (including some fun stories with former NFL players), but there is one that hits the millennial stereotype nail on the head ( I realize this is just one person and there are plenty of awesome millennials!)

My brother hired a girl right out of college with a degree in exercise physiology. She had played college soccer on scholarship, her gpa was good, and she had good social skills. She was from a fairly wealthy family (I was acquainted with them) who made sure that in college she wanted for nothing. When she was hired, she was living again with her parents.

Though she seemed a good hire, there were problems almost immediately. She would show up late to work, call in sick, and when she was there her effort and involvement were lacking. My brother called her in multiple times to let her know that she was not meeting expectations and was going to have to improve. Finally, he decided he was going to have to let her go, as his meetings with her had not seemed to sink in. When he called her in and let her know of his decision, she was stunned. She said, "If I had known I was going to be fired, I would have worked harder!"
