So how many of you are millennials?

I try to look tough for all the internet honeys. :biggrin:

 

are you confusing me with someone else in this thread? or are you just making assumptions?
go back and reread my posts in this thread..

i have never said all the people of the post college age were this way,nor have i said anyone under the age of 23 or 24 should even be included in this group..
the story seemed to be dealing with the 22 to 28 crowd entering the corporate world.
your getting your fucking panties in a wad defending a group your not even part of..if im not mistaken didnt you say you were not even going to enter the corporate world?

 

I also tend to defend fragile little Burmese children, a group I'm not part of.

The statement itself is ridiculous, and is exactly trying to differ personal responsibility and blame all the shit on someone else. I'm not defending anyone, I just don't like stupid remarks, especially if I'm called a "sheeple" after disagreeing with them.

 

have i called you a sheep? EVER??
once again your making false accusations as a defense..
you have a pattern of doing this but its you usually has to do with insinuating someone is a racist or a bigot..
like i said,,i dont think i have to insinuate that about you.. its obvious that is what you are...

 

No, Dilli called me a sheeple.

Your comments are bigoted. I highly doubt that you're racist.

Thank you for avoiding the discussion and resulting to personal attacks that have nothing to do with the topic. It's a perfect sign that I should stop this discussion with you because it is a waste of my time.

 

i answered every question you asked and you began your typical pattern of throwing race into it then making false accusations..

yeah i think you should quit the discussion as well,your showing your typical patterns of frustration..

 

BTW,the only bigoted and rascist comment made in this thread was by you..

its not a personal attack if its the truth..

 

it's still a personal attack, it's just a more pointed one. i think the phrase is "it's not an insult if it's true."

 

insult,personal attack,,i think its the same damn thing personally..

 

personal attack just means attacking someone any number of ways. whether through insulting or whatever. semantics. i'm feeling very semantical today. and mellow. i got some loving last night. *sigh*

 

Didn't read the thread...so sorry if I repeat or am out of line. Never know where threads are going to tangent to.

Anyway, I don't really have a problem with telling kids they are special because I feel that we all are. I don't really see a big problem with trophies as rewards. I actually love treating my daughters this way.

However, I don't come from the point of view that they are freaking princesses that can get all they want. Or that they can have everything they want.

I think there is a balance to be played with the kids that are part of the "millenial" generation is that is part of it. First off I am sure people don't like to be generalized and have a huge problem being labeled as something. You have to remember this special was on mainstream tv. This is not a very mainstream website. If you are the exception, rock on! Good for you.

The second thing is that perhaps this generation did receive positive reinforcement, making them have a better self image of themselves than people who were parented with fear tactics. SO perhaps they would like to be talked to nicely and perhaps they do want to be able to have their lives based around what they like, they want to work to live, not live to work. It's a great way of living to me.

There is a middle ground though. I mean, come on, having to teach them how to eat with a fork and knife. They must have found the most obscure clipping to use. I cannot imagine it being necessary to teach how to use utensils.

Ok, I am rambling.....Respect and mutual appreciation needs to come from both ways.

 

I completley agree. We evem had a magnet on the fridge that had a little fairy bear on it and said "I'm Special".
Because of it I have obtained sooo much in my life and at times felt many companies were lucky to have me. In many cases they needed me more than I them and I def had the upper hand.
I never got along with supervisors except for the one I slept with.
After trying different postions...conference speaking, training, upper management, middle management, I have decided to always work as a consultant, ultimatley making my own hours and working from home a lot when I am not with clients.
I know for sure after I get my Master's and therapist liscense I want to be my own boss one hundred percent.
I have too high of an opinion of myself at work. I know how good I am and was told I was special my whole life, am educated and emotionaly intelligent.

 

If you have talent and an employer doesn't see it; why not move on?

 

I've never heard the phrase "millenials." Interesting....there's always going to be a title that society tried to place on a group of people, whether it's according to their age, sex, hobbies, etc..... There's nothing anyone can do about that....we all have different titles....women, men, hippies, prudes, bitches, gen x'ers, baby boomers, the list goes on and on....I think it's up to the individual whether they pay much attention to the titles given to them or not. eace:

 

I dont agree. Ive always been a treated like a princess at home, but I am an honestly hard worker. It totally depends. For Dilligaf to jump all over this is just a showcase on how she is just as old fashioned/backwards thinking about her own things, as most of the people she chooses to disassociate herself from..

 

I'm a hard worker, but if an employer doesn't appreciate me, peace out. I'm gonna move onto someone who does.
I didn't go to colllege, get all of this specific training and work my ass off to be told what to do or made to feel bad about myself. If I'm working for you, it means you need what I speacialize in.
I've had a couple CEO's who didn't realize that and I couldn't stay with those companies.
I am specialize, which means I am speacial and my background isn't east to find.
I consult for a company now where most of my peers have Master's or are almost done with their MD's or Phd.'s. My clinical director still values me and treats me well even though I am the lesser educated of the behavioralists. But if he didn't, I can go anywhere else.
I left a 50k a year job at 24 because I wasn't treated well. I could give a shit about money. That's what husbands are for.

 

Well dude I think thats way different than the videos which I thought were basically about spoiled kids who dont work hard. Not being appreciate is a totally different thing.

 

That sounded bad I LOVE my husband. He is my best friend and is very sexy, but I also think husbands need to bring the income, retirement, benefits and financial security tot he table. But yeah, I just read that and I sounded horrible.
I am in a weird cocky mood today. Andy's gone for work for 10 days. I have no one to keep me in line
I also have his Macy's card...hmmmmmmmm

 

You know what. I read it, and it didnt strike me as odd. I kinda agree. I mean, Im semi traditional, thought I want my own career.

 

right on. HUGS
