My wife started making our boys doing their own laundry when they got into high school. Not so she wouldn’t have to do it, but it was one less thing to get used to when they got to college. I appreciate that move much more now than I did at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 3 hours ago, Like A Mofo said: With the gender identity, can't use 'him or manpower' ideas that are floating around, that next generation will take that to the next level and thensome. I consider myself a moderate person and I am all for progression but when it comes to that, and I am glad ill be in the ground by the time those concepts and many others become the new reality. This is a very small minority of people in the millenial generation who think this way. The media just likes to magnify it and act like it's a majority of millenails are like this. They're a small, granted very vocal, minority though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In my line of work we work with Boomers and Millennials all the time. The Millennials are a LOT easier to work with. Me: Here's our standard procedure checklist - follow it and everything will be fine. Millennial: Thanks! Boomer: You don't need to do all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Boomer, I represent that statement! I resemble that remark! Whenever they came out with a new procedure, my first reaction was to figure out how little of it I actually had to do in order to get my job done and not incur the wrath of management. It was getting harder and harder to walk that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, row_33 said: good to hear a success story It’s amazing what is possible if you’re willing to work really hard! My son recently talked to a guy about a new position. My wife asked “will that get in the way of your MBA program?” He responded, “no, even in the busy season they hardly ever work more than 60-65 hours a week. Plenty of time to finish the MBA.” Those are light hours compared to a couple positions he’s had, and he’s willing to invest now in his own future. Some people face very difficult obstacles, NO DOUBT! Most people, however, decide how far they want to go with the question: how hard am I willing to work? (For the record, I worked really hard, but freely admit I never worked as hard as they both work....and it showed in the results. Just a fact.) .
