I'm 41, so a millennial, and I know this guy isn't talking about my generation specifically. But it still irks me. We had dinner guests (wife's family we have not seen much) and this guy and myself both own our own business with employees. We were talking about this, and he said out loud, "ya those millennials don't work man! They never show up!" and I'm like, bro. You aren't talking about millennials.

Anyway - that aside, my early experiences with the 25 year old recent workforce entrants has not been impressive. But this is also the first time I'm seeing that new age group come along where I'm the boss, so my views may be skewed.

I’m 44 so I’m at the end of the Gen-Xer’s. But we are seeing an insane turnover of the 25-30yr hires. Our work isn’t hard just you need to keep up on it or you’ll get behind, but it’s all manageable in a 40hr work week, IF you do you job and not waste time on the on the internet. We give 1hr lunch breaks and OT is optional.  We start in the $65-72k salary range and if you meet your milestones you’ll get a raise or bonuses every 6-8mths.  

You can work 100% remotely after 3-4mths of training. I come in at 7am everyday and ask the regular employees to show up between 8-9. 

But at least once a week I have to send someone to HR for showing up after 9:30am or even 10am. I’ll give some wiggle room, but if your late by 30minutes for 3 days in a row, they get sent to HR. 

I also get a huge sob story every time I asked a new hire’s why they are behind. They have so many bullshit excuses. We don’t track their internet usages, however the software we use tracks their time so we can bill accordingly to client accounts. Back in Nov we had a 26yr old hire worked a total of 38minutes for the week, while his ass was in the office for 40hrs. 

When I brought him into the office to talk about his progress with HR present he told me that he wasn’t feeling the job and was just riding it out till he was fired, wtf? It took me 3 days to work through the work he didn’t do on top of everything I needed to do for my role
