Kenworth Spy well perhaps that's how you ended up here? While I largely agree with what your saying, it does matter if you want to retain decent people.
Really?? I have yet to work with a millennial that isn't looking at their phone and complaining they have to stay until 5pm. I don't know where the awesome ones are?
Millennials are more entrepreneurial minded. Also, we’ve seen our parents be blindly loyal to their companies and get kicked to the curb once the economy went bad. We’re not loyal because we know these companies see employees as disposable items, not people.
There is that issue but also the issue of people working for a family company then the company gets bought out by ge or walmart or someshit and bam no more job not just a bad economy.
no they aren't, all they believe is instgram is the answer to their prayers...to sit around in front of a screen all day, and call themselves influencer's and models? maybe so for a little while.. but their looks will soon fade with the amount of stuff they do to their faces and bodies these days.
@@R_W_Goodson Oh? Is that right? I'm listening very well. Why discuss the younger generation at all? Why suddenly group an entire generation into two groups as the gentleman does right at the beginning of the video. AND there are generalities aimed at millennials in this video. So, I will stick at what I said.
@@marktroddyn3351 “Stick” to it. This is still the USA and Dave Ramsey has every Right to talk about his experiences in hiring Millennials. No one is above criticism.
In my work environment, you always have to repeat everything more than twice with millennials because they have to peel their damn face off the cell phone screen to grasp what you are telling them.. go back half hour later, repeat and the job still isn't done..
Not every company has a "ladder", it may be advertised, but, not accessible to all who sign on, I've been hired with the line, "we love to hire from within", only to discover that the positions advertised do not exist. Pick your battles, kids.
At this point, twenty-something’s aren’t Millennials, they’re Gen. Z. Also, what Ramsey says about young people - either they’re ready to bust tail, or they’re worthless - has always been true of young people. He must have forgotten how lazy many of his peers were back in the day.
5:50 Not quite, it's also because we watched our fathers drink themselves to death after their shop shut down and the jobs ended up 5000 miles away, after working 30 years for the same company.
What a load of crap. Ive been running my own business for 16 years. Ive been pushing boomers and gen xers outta my way since day one. Smart millenials arent buying the carrot on the string b.s anymore. The old dogs cant stand the young pups nipping at their heels. Ive had to fire numerous men that would never listen to me simply as im younger. Its called male pride. Old guys dont take direction from young guys. I became a champion in my field by out working everyone and building a better product and im expanding again. I created my own ladder to climb and my own game to play and removed the ceiling off my potential and went as hard as possible. The old9 fashioned ladder of success is out dated and smart millenials dont play by the rules. We create our own success.
Michael Buckley just curious why you would say that? You don’t know anything about me and your making an assumption on one comment I made. I don’t care, your comment actually made me laugh. I’m way older than a millennial and have have raised 6 amazing hard working kids that are not snow flakes or spoiled millennials. That’s the reason I say that you can’t make blanket statements about any group.
kim wiser It was neglected in some way as a kid and now emulates whatever raised it by choice. Most common yet invisible/forbiden to talk about issue all over the world
There are lazy people and there are passionate people across all groups. The one guy made it sound like millennials have this wonderful passion for life and their jobs where the boomers lack that. Puh-leez! That's so not true. But thanks for showing us your bias, sir.
No life does not honor loyalty. I was loyal to a company for 16 years, . They lied about the layoffs people they were keeping. They stole $5,800 from me and tried to steal my 401k, 403b, and pension. I learned my lesson the hard way.
I get so sick of the things that people have to say about millennials. This is spot on. I typically hear all bad, and this conversation draws out both the good and the bad, also how to get through it.
I am one of these Gen X people who would love to work at the same company for 30 years. Possibly even the same job. I like that old style grit. Even better if it's family business. Learn everything I can. But stay because honestly looking for a job in my opinion seems harder then actually doing most jobs. I am a humble guy and job hunting is really a marking game. Sure, I can sell stuff. But I would rather not have to sell myself. I would rather show an employer why it is that they need me. That's just me.
Selling yourself to your current employer, and selling yourself in an interviewer is the same thing. The only real difference is you're selling yourself to someone you know versus strangers, but your strengths and dedication shouldn't change based on the person you're selling yourself to.. if you have any sort of personal fortitude that is. I respect your hard work and only hope to come across employees like you. But, in my experience as an employee, employers typically don't value their employees and the only way to move forward in life is to move on to a new opportunity. I hope you find what you're looking for, the one thing I've found to be true in any industry is hard work pays off.. it sounds like your day will come.
The guy to the right of Dave tacitly exposed one of the great unspoken discriminations in society today without saying so and yet saying so in so many words... Ageism. You think blacks or gays or women or Latinos are discriminated against in the job market? Just try being an older white guy. It won't matter how much experience you have... Just like with sexual attraction, youth trumps almost everything. If you're white, male and over 50 and looking for a job, you'll be lucky to land one at the same pay rate as your last job... if you can land one at all.
The hidden part of this discrimination is that younger employees are cheaper. The older job seekers shoot themselves in the foot by expecting higher pay for their experience and are usually looking to replace their previous job, when higher paying positions are fewer and filled.
Totally agree with you! I'm white male over 50. I'm constantly pushed aside because they want the minorities, women, and foreigners. The looks on their faces as I walked in for interviews told me I wasn't getting the job. So in emails and phone calls setting up an interview I started telling them who I am, sometimes they cancel the interview.
But the majority want that out of box, and don't want to put it a good shift to achieve it. That's the difference between Y/Mill's/Z's to X's/boomers. And that's a massive difference.
I recognize the anecdotes and they are really funny, but obviously not all of the so called Millennials are snowflakes. Here in The Netherlands, you get a job contract for a number of months (max), certainly not for years. I understand the lack of loyalty to employers, if the company itself has a policy of switching employees routinely to save on wages. How do you pay your mortgage if you can't rely on having a job? BTW, I'm not a Millennial, I'm 59 y.o. and am proud of my youngest who is 21 y.o. He works his butt off.
Dear Boomers, teach us what you know and we'll finally go places. We don't have the luxury of on the job training like you did. We also don't have the luxury of filling out a simple app and getting hired within a week or two. It's a month to a month and a half for us. Time is money, we have shit to do and bills to pay just like you! You "want" to make money but we NEED TO. Now you're saying to us..."Do double the work, and do it for free (college, an internship and two jobs just to pay for everything). Go to college, pay 20k plus for a semester and come back and see us after finishing a degree, with NO GUARANTEE of a job." Sounds like one hell of a gamble I'm not willing to go into debt for. There are just as many college grads not getting into their studied profession as people who simply graduated high school. My husband is one of them. 30k dollars later, he still can't get a position in his field because the employers want on the job experience and school doesn't count. The loan company is now beating down our door. Had he gotten better advice from his school (run by boomers), we wouldn't be 30k in debt. I'm sorry, but you don't get to give us horrible advice and then turn around and say, "Try harder".
I'm sorry to hear that it's terrible hopefully us millinials can change the world for the better and for younger generations it's time for great change and the way things run
Tell all of this to your phone interviewer who spoke horrible English and clearly was biased against speaking with an older professional. I did not experience any 'depth' in the interview.
College graduates who are millennials who have a masters degree think the world owes them, However companies today are interviewing and hiring right out of high school, because these kids have a drive and they want to do it, not because I have a masters degree and it's all about me!!!! That shit gets me sick!!!!
I you look through a few dating websites you will find almost every woman is listing a Masters Degree or Phd or something. I'm starting to think they must be just passing these things out like cereal box prizes.
i hired another millenial 2 weeks ago; we usually start them w/30 hours per week to get an idea of what they'll be like before making a formal full time offer. he started on a friday. he asked my assistant what time he should come in next week. she jokingly replied "be here on SUNDAY at 8:00AM... he replied "great. i'll see you then". she let him know she was just kidding, and he came in the following monday and so far he's terrific. the problem is i have to go through 15-25 part time workers on a trial basis to find that one who is ready to do what it takes to be invaluable to our company.
finally someone that points out that there are 2 kinds of millennials, and there are because of there parents, my buddy has 3 and they have that hard working go get them attitude, he made everyone of them get a job a 13 and yes thet didn't want to at first but as soon as they saw the benefits they embraced it and now he couldn't be more proud of them
I just will never understand how the interview process has changed so much. A potential employee used to have to sell themself (what do I have to offer a company, what am I bringing to the table, and how can I make your business grow and become a better place to work at). Now, what I am hearing in this few minute video, is that "the boss" has to map out to a stranger how their company and job offered should be enticing enough to the potential employee. What??? People looking for a job are a dime a dozen. If a company has to work that hard to stroke an employee's ego - or "why", that company is not focusing on the bigger picture. I have moved on from companies. When things weren't working for me, it was my job to figure out how to reinvent myself. In the end, companies have one goal . . . and that is "their" bottom line. Anyone can be easily replaced. It is not a company's job to continue tge mindset of many millennials, which is to babysit them. I cannot even tally up how many interviewers who said to me, "We need someone to hit the ground running." There was no training, hand holding, ego stroking, safe spaces (other tgan the ladies' room where you were timed) or pats on the back. Sadly, a boss is going to waste so much time on those young mindsets, and they will leave in about two years anyway. There has to be loyalty, and employees who suck a bosses' time, energy and money, only to leave in a short period of time, were never a good fit from the beginning. I feel like I was in a coma for the past 40 years, and just woke up on mars! I really don't know how companies manage to survive today. Sad thing is that there are many middle aged people who are/were dynamite employees, and are brushed off in an interview process strictly based on preconceived notions based on age. Age discrimination is alive, but so hard to prove.
I find it frustrating people made up another group identity to try and fit people in. No not all blacks are Democrats, not all women drive terrible, and not all millennials do or act similar just because they where born around the same time. Oh and we did go to block buster it's why we invented a better way to see our favorite movies, saving the planet while figuring out how to never leave our apartment aka moms basement.
