Not long ago I was talking with the CEO of a San Francisco based Solar Power firm.
Somehow the topic of the attitude of his newly hired millennials came up.
These are All American, supposedly highly educated young idealist that are almost impossible to deal with.
Petulant, was the single word that defined them.
Snowflakes with an Attitude.
Our generation coddled them. Their expectations for their standard of living is greater than ours. For example- when our generation bought our first homes, they were fixer uppers. Now, this generation wants the big house with granite countertops.
Yeah, it’s not good.
But I’d bet those raised by Freeper type parents are less petulant on average.
I know my kids don’t fit the millennial stereotype, and don’t associate with those who do.
But there are plenty out there, and “petulant” is exactly accurate.
