Yeah but like millions of years ago when humans were still forming language. Millennials are not to blame!

On the bright side at least the current generation of women picked up bad ideas from Redtube.

Admittedly I am from a working class background but about half of my millennial peers are mentally deranged drug addicts who barely have ambitions to leave their mom's house, let alone work for Google.
The other half does what they're supposed to do and live normal lives and share it on social media.

Not the singularity but the living ghosts of the singularity.

Millennials are the worst because they haven't had to do anything hard in their entire lives and human beings are worthless without adversity.

As a millenial, I would suck rear end but the rear end sucking market has kind of dried up lately. Does anybody know of any jobs out there that would let me suck at least five figures of rear end a year?

My annual review was conducted last week. I've worked at the company for just under a year, and because it was a career switch, I took a position beneath my experience level. My expectation was that I'd move quickly through the ranks after proving my competence and constantly striving to create value.

Over the course of the year, I moved up from an analyst role to a position managing several people on an IT project. I've received nothing but praise from managers and peers, and so I fully expected to receive high marks, a sizable raise, and possibly a promotion commensurate to my current role. Instead, I received an average rating for my level, no discussion of promotion, and a whopping 3 percent raise. I was incredulous. I can't remember feeling so devalued and humiliated. I tried to argue my case during the review, but it seems the decision had been made. I've been lumped into the mediocre (or below) pile, and there's nothing I can do until next year's review to change it. What would you do if you were in my position?

I share office space with one other person who is about half my age. The age reference is relevant because it relates to my question.

About half her work day is spent online rather than working. Whether she is clothes shopping, looking at mansions on Zillow, looking at pictures of dogs or CHILDREN available for adoption, corresponding on Facebook, browsing Reddit, or reading her news feed, she will toggle between working and surfing throughout the day.

She prefers to keep our office door closed, although we have no outside windows and little air circulation, because it allows her to hear when someone enters so that she can quickly click off the internet screen. I have seen her do this numerous times, and so has our boss. Equally as annoying are her frequent comments to me about what she is reading, often accompanied by an email providing me with the link to that which she is referring.

My workload does not permit me the luxury of casual internet browsing, nor am I interested in it. When she talks to me or forwards her items of interest, it’s not just distracting, it causes me to feel resentment toward her for her lack of consideration of the time and effort that I put into my job. On an ethical level, I feel that collecting a paycheck for browsing the internet is, in essence, stealing from the nonprofit organization for which we work.

Here is where the age-related part of my question comes in–is this behavior now more generally accepted in the workplace because 20-somethings have grown up in a digital age? Am I just “old-school”? And if not, what can I do about it? When I brought it to my boss’s attention, he said he had noticed it too, but failed to follow up with her. If I bring it up to him again, am I “tattling”?

"Millenials are the worst generation ever"

To anyone who agrees with that statement, gently caress you. Why have we suddenly become the worst people in the world? Because we weren't drafted in some loving war? We went to your Iraq and Afghanistan wars too but instead all we got was a pat on the back and a crippled vet bill. We aren't brave? We don't do anything? At what point do you think fighting for gay, transsexual and equal rights is doing nothing? We aren't obsessed with ourselves. We're not staring at our phones, we're communicating with others. You think posting selfies is narcissistic? Try fellating yourself non stop 24/7 over how you or the generation before you was the "greatest generation ever". Jesus Christ is that ever the most pathetic thing. We aren't "antisocial". You're the people talking about renting some loving log cabin out in the middle of nowhere. How antisocial can you get? Generation X can kiss my rear end too. YOU did nothing. You found out how to steal music, at the most. You have literally accomplished nothing and are a generation of middlemen. Boomers can also go gently caress themselves but a little harder. You crashed the housing market and hosed the economy up and have the nerve to tell us that things were different back in your day but should also be the same when we're somehow finding difficulty with the job market.

Very much like my job. A '4' is phenomenal, basically single handedly saving the company millions or some poo poo. No one gets that. Most people just get a 3 if they do well, and that's very rare (or you are on good terms with the manager in addition to being able to do your job). 2 is what you are most likely to get if you bust rear end and work hard, but are still a stranger to your supervisors. And the kind of job I do, it's not easy to stand out or be seen as amazing unless you are some super talented genius that clearly doesn't belong at your current paygrade. Annual reviews feel more like a "Why should we not fire you" deal instead of checking to see where you are going.
