“Therefore, as the economy improves, employment opportunities keep on rising, although not as earlier. The Millennial generation is likely to pursue new career paths that correspond to…
Emily Matchar is the author of “Why Your Office Needs More Bratty Millennials”. Reading the first five paragraphs she introduced to the audience who these “bratty millennials” were. Her introduction included mostly negative comments that are heard about Generation Y kids, also known as Millennials, and the “bad habits “they contained. Within the last paragraph of her introduction Matcher clarifies in her thesis statement that she supported Millennials. Her her article was explained how Generation Y “ bad habits “ are going to reconstruct the work field for better by making it adapt to them.…
Making profits to please the stockholder became the new focus. This led to corporate ethics focused on consumers shifting to any means necessary to make a larger profit each year. The Millennials were being born as this shift was taking place. They were raised in this "no holds barred" corporate society and have made decisions as a consequence of this exposure.…
Millennials are not always labeled as being idle. They can also be recognized as a great achiever. For example, let's say employees are working on a really hard project. The projects are most likely taking up all the employee's work schedule. The Millennials, however, are capable constructing their work schedule to get the project done.…
In the editorial “Hunting for Hope in Modern America,” the professor Jeffrey Bosworth discusses the “screwed” millennial generation in three perspectives: the current issues in America, the positive attributes of the millennial generation, and what the millennial generation should do to succeed. He explains that millennials have the potential to be successful if they put the effort into their learning. Does Bosworth provide enough evidence of millennialls potential to be successful, to lead the reader to agree with his argument? The answer is yes, because he provides powerful counterarguments, startling evidence, and a use of pathos.…
The Millennials have shown determination as they lived through the recession when unemployment was its highest from 2007 to 2009. They are not only willing to participate, but are willing to take the lead and make an impression on society. The Millennials are community minded and value family ties. For example, over 50% want to stay close to family and friends in comparison to Baby Boomers (29%) and Generation X (40%).…
However, the article, "When Millennials Rule," recognizes how they are aiming to change the trend. For example, the text often talked about how the millennials are introducing new technology that the baby- boomers couldn't bring to the government because they are stuck in their generation's technology. Furthermore, unlike the baby-boomers, the millennials are not stuck in the same ways, instead, they are introducing new ways of doing things and fresh ideas. Lastly, millennials exhibit more initiative in doing things because they are full of hope and positivity. The millennials are determined to change the current representation…
As the years go by, every generation has an idiosyncratic aspect to them that no other generation has before. This aspect, though, could either be positive or negative. The Baby Boomers (1946-1966) are characterized by the increase of births due to the end of World War I and World War II. Generation X is known for their independence, both a negative and positive factor.…
In Joel Stein’s article The New Greatest Generation, he gives his opinion on the millennial generation. Those born between the years of 1980s and 2000s are considered millennials. Stein argues that the millennial generation is lazy. An example of Stein argument on the laziness of millennials can be shown when he mentions how they would rather be an assistant instead of becoming a CEO of a company.…
Also, the author mentions that many corporate industries want a millennial to work with…
Slocombe and Donald S. Miller strengthen their argument that students are ill-equipped to face the hypercompetitive new reality of the global marketplace by employing highly credible sources to backup their claims. The authors refer to a survey done by careerbuilder.com, a highly popular and commonly used website for job searching, that states that “87% of over 2500 managers and human resource executives said Millennials feel more entitled than older workers in terms of compensation, benefits, and career advancement”. () Almost anyone reading this article would automatically recognize this website and become intrigued. This information given by careerbuilder.com shows that almost every company that was surveyed managers are recognizing that these students have a narcissistic outlook on the working world, believing that they are overqualified for any job. With this sense of entitlement that these Millennials possess, it is near impossible for them to function properly in the working world.…
Ultimately, millennials are more capable of greatness than the older generations believe. Thanks to our blessings and gifts, we have become anything but the “dumbest generation”; we have become a force to be reckoned…
Generation Y grew up with everything given to them therefore they feel no dedication and tend not to be loyal to employers, by their constant job hopping, which means no pension is being built up for them in their old age, they are going to pay for this in the future . Baby Boomers aren't retiring as quickly as expected, theoretically speaking this would affect the development for millennials by not allowing executive positions to be available and for some this is the case however, for most it isn't. The current trend for this generation is job hopping, which doesn’t permit millennials to develop loyalty for the company and causes the company to have constant openings for jobs. This means less profitability therefore keeping salaries at a stagnant level,. This could possibly cost some millennials their dream job because employers (most of which are boomers or Gen…
The author did a good job of describing an ideal millennial from my point of view due to the fact that I have experienced multiple scenarios in which the author stated. I agree with Matchar 's statement on cheering on the millennials because they are indeed changing the workforce for those who never took a chance in stepping up to the disadvantages. “Why do we have to meet in an office cross-country when we can call in remotely via Skype” states Megan Broussard, a 25-year-old who quit her job as a PR firm for a large company. This clearly shows that Gen Y individuals are also making it easier for other employees as well as the employers to create a more convenient environment. This also shows that some Gen Y workers are infact “spoiled” because a majority do leave if they don’t get what they want.…
They are pragmatic idealists, tinkerers more than dreamers, life hackers”(Serjoie and Stein 4). This show that we as millennials are doers not just dreamers. We will work for what we want. Millennials will set a goal for themselves and work really hard to reach that goal. As life hackers, millennials were able to do something hard with the least amount of time.…
