Millenials are they lazy bastards?

Yeah I think this whole thread is silly.

Oldies acting like we get shit handed to us and then take it for granted.

The generations all say the same thing about the previous.

Hey.
Don't try to take away my generational label just because you don't like yours.

This millenials label makes no sense. It should be used for people born after 2000.

You're just jealous because we've won the award for being the worst generation ever to exist on Earth.

Go get your own award.







But seriously, this whole thread is retarded. Not the people in it, but the concept that you are trying to take a completely abstract thought and dumbing it down to mere black and white. It's not that simple. Never was, never will be. To debate it would neither bring about a definitive answer, nor enlightenment.

Can we go back to talking about cars or boobs or butts or something actually relevant to us?

I truly do not care about my generation. I do me and that's all that matter. I live by two simple statements. You get out what you put in, and It's not what you know its who you know. Seem to have worked out so far for me... One thing I know for sure is When this generation gets in office we are truly fucked...

I'm sorry but the whole "not what you know, but who" is a cliche to me. Who you know may keep you down for your lack of knowledge. and some people don't ever get past that. it's out there. As far as you get out what you put in, I agree, it takes a very driven individual to live like that. I guess my only point is, not everyone can say the same.

Keep this non P & R K thx.

Haha sorry. but I bet alot of us can agree on that without even getting into a discussion on it.

quit looking at what others are doing and worry about yourself. You are your own limitation in this world. If you want it bad enough, you'll get it.

Love this part - it's what I was told and how I lived my life.

Unfortunately, there are many that live each day thinking the grass is greener in someone else's yard, or that they are not achieving their goals because of everyone else. Not even sure if it's a specific generation or race or whatever.

When I see someone from the younger generation, a lot of times he's an unrealistic toolbag. Most often when I see an older guy, he's rude and impatient. I guess my point is everyone sucks.

I would be considered a millenial and what the perceived notion that my generation is lazy does for me is make it easier to climb the ladder. If you work hard and everyone else around you doesn't, who's more likely to move up first?

[CENTURION]

damn it I had a good paragraph ready and my phone timed out.
in short,
are millenials lazy bastards?
yes and no.
every older generation will belittle the new one. however the bad apples will make the rest look bad.
in the end. everyone's life is different. I can say that many people do not have the opportunities that some of us had, nor will ever have the opportunity. not because they don't want to maybe because their environment does not allow them. And in some cases that is very very true. It's not easy to just buck up and get it done, or to shut up and do it. Even here in America. why? simply because they do not Know what is necessary to succeed. Or because their life was meant to be doomed idk, but it happens.
point is, what's the older generation doing to help the younger one? are you like that E5 who puffs his chest, smokes the hell out of his subordinates and when push comes to shove, can't even pass the minimum apft? or that leader or mentor who goes above and beyond to ensure that new guy/ girl is suited for the task at hand?
let's not judge and categorize all millenials into one sterotype as some of you, not all but some do.

Worst. Generation. Ever.

one of the newer buzz word phrases I hate the most is " Work Life Balance" that I hear coming out out the little shits mouths when faced with actually working more than 8 hours a day or more than 5 days a week.

Is it just cause lots of kiddos abuse it or do you think the idea of 40 hours a week or less is insane?

Most first world countries have like 35 hours as a full time job.

It may not be as big of a deal in your field, but when you are faced with multiple 50+ hour work weeks in a row there is reason to bring up work life balance. The goal isnt to work your life away, you are not a baby or a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles for wanting time to spend with your family or doing your hobbies. I feel like the generation before us was brainwashed into the "you gotta work all the time, and thats a good thing" idea. I mean we even see it in commercials...



Thats the shit the older generation pushes.
