Millennials Aren't Entitled; They're Just Misunderstood


Millennials are entitled, disloyal, and lazy. And they expect things to come easily to them. Sound familiar? These are common beliefs that many managers hold. But are they true? Not really. Millennials, it turns out, aren't nearly as entitled as we make them out to be. In fact, most are ambitious, and look to make a big impact in their careers right from the start. But managers can sometimes misconstrue this as entitlement. The same goes for disloyalty. While it's true that Millennials tend to jump ship earlier than past generations, they usually do so because the road to promotion at their current company isn't so clear-cut. So can you really blame them? Perhaps it's time to change our thinking, and to cut Millennials some slack.
