Working with them can be a pain, too.
I keep hearing from the higher ups that my gripes are just a “generational” thing and that I just have to understand that they have “different standards.”
I’d bet your “Gripes”
are things like;
INTEGRITY!
I’m a community college teacher. Dealing with millennials has always been very trying. They are so...weak. They cannot handle any struggle whatsoever, they all deserve an A just for showing up, they want to talk about important issues, yet only “scream” what they here on social media, and I mean scream because once they begin losing the argument, they go into “loud” mode. They cannot, and will not, put down their phones to save their very soul. Most have severe drug issues, and lack of relationship skills. Most can’t hold a job and would never dream of doing manual labor, beneath them. I hope is just being young, but this generation can’t seem to break the mold they’ve been made of.

Yep. It’s a generational thing and our generation(s) were here first, so the kiddos can just get in line.
What? That’s not how it works? Since when?
Oh and kids? By the time the present elders have passed, YOU will be in the elder generation and the standards will have changed yet again. However will you cope?
Imagine the grandbabies of the millenials bringing back traditional mores! Too bad I won’t live to see that.
