yeah but if that's a benefit of going to work aren't you doing both yourself and your employer a disservice by not utilizing your benefits?
That's like getting a job for insurance and then not using the insurance.

My experience with hiring millennials hasn't been that they have a bad work ethic. In fact with my company when we hire a lot of times it takes a lot to get them to settle the fukk down even during slower days (slow for their function at least) because they so badly want to prove their value all the time.
But the other side of that coin is that when they aren't engaged in their job, or they are doing some shyt they don't really want to do, they half ass and don't even make the effort to pretend to not be half assing like older employees.

We get new hires in all the time here, and a majority of the issue is HR and their view on people applying to the jobs. We have it set up so that they have one job to do, and that is screen applicants. I've actually sat with them to see how they screen, and the fact that they act like they are splitting the atom makes me so upset I've just stopped thinking about it. I've seen it wih my own eyes, there are more than enough qualified, well spoken, well dressed, presentable people for position that are young.
Yeah here are entitled brats, but they are few and far between.
The jobs not wanting to train people because they wil leave is usually true for low-brow employers. That shyt flies for warehouse people who get certified or machinists who need certs.
Tuition reimbrsement usually comes with stipulations that you don't leave for a few years after you get your degree/certs.

Being obsessed with work will do all kinds of mental drawbacks. Like family dysfunctions and all that.

but thats to their detriment. Current pay structures require you to work 40 hours per week until youre 65. Until the rules change, its in your best interest to play along.
They need to get removed by 
cause they getting too old and stagnant in the workforce. There needs to be new blood.

Companies want 'profit maximization' but when to give employees minimum compensation. They want employees to work super hard, and yet pay them like they are interchangeable parts. This notion of this generation being lazy is nonsense. This generation often goes to school AND works. How are we lazy if we need 4 year degrees to get what was once given to someone walking out of high school?

Not everyone can do that. Not everyone's brain operates the same.
The old heads don't understand about that. Wanting these kids to be overeducated and underpaid while living in an extreme cost of living era.

there are Milenials that bust their asses. I am one of them I guess.
Go to any in-n-out burger joint and you see kids busting their asses. in fact, that is something I look for on resumes now. In-n-out or any other high stress restaurant work. Those businesses really weed-out the lazy a$$holes.
Me personally, I can create an excel workbook/model in minutes. I know 100s ribbon shortcuts. I never use the mouse. I think in shortcuts. I use clt f1 to remove the ribbon because I don't need it. I also use cherry-mx red keyboards now. I can type at 100+ wpm thanks to the new keys
I use my superior productivity to take on more tasks. I still work 10 hours day+ and work through my lunch, I just get more shyt done.
Getting annual reviews where I am rated as being part of the top 10% of multi-billion dollar company makes it all worth it. Great bonus, all expense paid trip. shyt is nice. I love America. It is a place where winners are rewarded and lazy losers get their just deserts.
