The part you posted of that article is excellent.

However I can tell you that we are having a very difficult time finding responsible new hires.

80% of the new ones refuse to follow direction, are super sensitive, and looking to job hop into a promotion somewhere else as soon as possible.

Maybe the limited availability of good employees is leading to all these brats, but they are introducing a lot of instability into the overall IT picture with their attitudes alone.

There is no loyalty on either side these days.

“80% of the new ones refuse to follow direction, are super sensitive, and looking to job hop into a promotion somewhere else as soon as possible.”

The young ‘uns are tough.

The managers need to spend a lot more time explaining the “culture” to them—one baby step at a time.

“This is what we can do for you, but only if you do this for us. If that does not sound like something that is OK for you then you really need to leave now—so we can find a replacement who is on board.”

That way it is not personal—it is just a question of whether the new hire is willing to share the company goals for them.

Ideally HR would do that upfront but as we all know most HR is useless.

Maybe they recognize bad mgt and act appropriately. So you need an excuse to hire H-1B? LOL.

Pay more. Then you will get better employees.
