Many of us are starting to deal with millennials flooding the workplace.

We've already identified that they're the worst generation.

 

How do you fix the problem?

 

great link thanks

 

the solution is the same as it always has been and always will be: internal development

 

some ppl call that spiritual development, but that gets confused with god so i want to be careful. you dont need god to become spiritually enlightened. you can get there with many different templates, including religion, secularism, agnosticism, etc. the template doesnt really matter, what matters is how you manifest within that template

 

lots and lots of great books to learn how to do this. but like that speaker says, it takes dedication and work and is a lifelong process that often is very difficult. no quick fixes, no easy answers. its total self application to the goal of becoming spiritually enlightened throughout your entire life

Us old people need to work on our emotional intelligence*. :death:

 

 

 

 

 

 

* I never heard of it either until I moved to San Francisco.

its something i heard in business school. It made sense at the time and went along with learning about emotional maturity

 

How would you define emotional intelligence and emotional maturity? I'd be curious to hear how everyone would differ based on application and experience

What in the world are you guys complaining about?

 

Millennials are going to be awesome. According to baskin, public school has cured them of their social ills, so they should be ready to enter the workforce gung-ho and ready to work.

 

Right after their afternoon nap.

 

Posted before, worth it again...

In all seriousness, it's a useful concept and the emphasis on soft skills is one of the reasons we like the west coast for educating our daughters. If you don't raise girls to know how to understand and control their emotions, they are in for a world of hurt down the road.

 

But I roll my eyes at the need of employers out here to worry about kissing the asses of over-sensitive 24 year olds.

My last employer was big on that. I was counseled on not having any...so I gave them a doctor's note explaining why.

 

Not entirely surprising I'm no longer at that job.

emotional maturity is generally emotionally experience. To learn to control it you need to get !@#$ed a million times over to know you can overcome the bull **** that happens next when your hash tag fails,your skinny jeans get ripped or your cell phone has less than 20% battery. I have literally seen plans fall through a hundred times by people whose cell phone was not going to last them long enough just in case of missing contact.

Just close your eyes and think of those Geico commercials.

If you're DC Tom, you're a mean intentionally abusive f**k. It's what you do

 

 

Waah young people suck. Waah.

 

Sorry they are on your lawn.

 

Just like every generation.

Who gave us Trump?

 

Angry white guys, i.e., PPP.

 

Millennials wanted Bernie. Settled for votes for Clinton and Johnson.

hes talked himself into that shtick. he can change if he wants to. and he should want to

Good point. Not one he will listen to but valid and insightful at a level that will only get mocked here.

I agree it was angry white people that gave us Trump, but let's not say that like a large segment of them don't have an excellent reason to be angry. I fought against those people my entire life on Race issues and I've personally witnessed many of them finally abandon their racism only to be continually accused of it by a culture that sees whiteness as racist by default. That's extremely unfair to these people and they shouldn't be subject to that because as a premise it is utterly ridiculous. Even if we just want to go by the legacy of slavery itself there's absolutely no doubt that most of slavery through history including right now today is done by people of color. So this widespread belief among blacks and enabling whites that whites have some tendency to be racist above and beyond any other race is preposterous. And yet that's what most blacks and a great percentage of whites believed in the run-up to this election and kept hammering white people over the head mercilessly. No wonder they were Furious
