Another millennial here to confirm. I was 80s born and grew up with an older brother and tons of older cousins though and feel like I grew up more submersed in their culture. Kind of 1 foot in both generations and I can’t stand the vast majority of us millennials. No offense to younger millennials (and obviously this isn’t the case w/ all), but I also feel like there’s a huge difference between millennials born before around 92-93ish and those born after
Yea I’d agree with about 91 (I was being generous in my first comment haha). Could be some bias since my fiancée and some cousins are ‘91 and they’re on about the same page as me. Makes sense too, anything before about 91 was kind of that weird generation that grew up both before the internet age and remember what it was like, but also at the start of it and in it, as well
Agreed. I'm in a position where I get 3-4 PAID interns a year to help out, college students.
The Millenials I had around 2010-2014 were the worst. I had to teach them the most basic Excel functions. Some could not figure out how to move columns by themselves. Always calling in sick, needing to "feel safe and respected". One who only came in 1/3 the time asked me to write a recommendation letter to some LA PR firm - I got out of it by saying (truly anyway) that I can't do that and the org doesn't do that generally.
One positive note: The last two years was almost the total reversal. Ready to work, Love to get Paid, don't need hand holding, and surprisingly, better on the phone than Millennials, despite being from a generation of total smartphone usage.
Same here but not surprised after all the birthday parties I went to growing up with the kids getting 24+ presents and teachers not being allowed to discipline my classmates
I'm a millennial also, and agree. Absolutely infuriating and disappointing.
Yup. Another millennial and unfortunately it’s true. We’re a complete disgrace.

Hell. Yes. I graduated in ‘05. The freshmen when I was a senior were fucking fruitcakes. I think 1990, 1991 is around the cutoff

From pay phones to AIM.

Zoomers have been really good.
Also, far better taste in Music.
I have a lot of high hopes for gen z.
