Comment on: Blog Post 'How Recruiters Can Deal with Job Hopping Millennials': s a group. Hence, the word "millennials". (Which, I would argue, they despise.) Let's observe some of the things they've been surrounded with... 1. Retaining the status of "kid" by mom and dad keeping them on their health plan. 2. The Kardashian's. An arguably shallow and average looking clan our society somehow elevated to importance and relevance. (Don't get me wrong...I'd love to launch a cologne called "STEVE!" and make thousands.) 3. Obsessive handcuffing to devices for answers. (Let me go a little risque here and comment that churches and religions are losing ranks in this demographic as well. This is very sad. Our own country founding was rooted in religions (many, many by the way) and some alternative thinking. The key word in that sentence is "thinking".) 4. Redefined responsibilities at home. I'm (being a Gen X representative) only a generation away from people who kept their house together in their early teens. Even because of my own circumstance, I was ironing and starching clothes at the age of 13. Food and snacks had to be prepared and cooked. God forbid you cave in for that frozen "Hungry Man" growing frost fuzz in the depths of the freezer. 5. Single parent households and dual income families. My 80-something mother-in-law still resides in a two-bedroom house that most Millennials would confuse as a shoebox. The standards of prior generations were completely redefined by the Boomers who created the Millennials. Instead of a chicken in every pot, they came up with three cars and an RV in every driveway and houses designed with attics larger than the actual living space. This, I contend, was to create a false "kingdom" and now the Boomer generation is near-broke because of it. 6. Cynicism. How does elevate the standards of 1-5? This I leave unanswered on purpose. That way, I underscore the cynicism. Not even the best Galaxy can answer that. Our office approached all candidates with caution. Our first question to every candidate addresses their motivation for looking for a new job. I don't have stats to support this, but often our first question dealing with the candidate's self identified motivation results in Sesame Street maturity in the millennial's answer.…; Added by Stephen Nehez, Jr. at 10:26am on August 21, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'Stupid Girl Loses Job Because of Facebook Status (how would you handle situatio…': inted the FB comment and submitted to HR. HR and the manager should have discussed what the appropriate options were to ensure that in light of pending termination, they would be covered. Once all the ducks were in a row, bring the employee into a conference room with HR and confront the issue along with other DOCUMENTED performance warnings. The manager should be written up as well for his indiscretion as well. Nice post Rich. My advice to anyone contemplating getting into an online flame war with anyone is to sit back and just think of the song "Online" by Brad Paisley. Here's the lyrics y'all: I work down at the pizza pit And I drive an old Hyundai I still live with my mom and dad I'm 5'3 and overweight I'm a Sci-Fi fanatic Mild asthmatic Never been to 2nd base But there's a whole nother me That you need to see Go check out MySpace 'cause online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6'5 and I look damn good I drive a Maserati I'm a black belt in Karate And I love a good glass of wine It turns girls on that I'm mysterious I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious 'cause even on a slow day I can have a three way Chat with two women at one time I'm so much cooler online So much cooler online I get home, I kiss my mom And she fixes me a snack I head down to my basement bedroom And fire up my Mac In real life the only time I Ever even been to L.A. Was when I got the chance with the marching band To play tuba in the Rose Parade. Online I live in Malibu I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ I'm single and I'm rich And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind It turns girls on that I'm mysterious I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious 'cause even on a slow day I can have a three way Chat with two women at one time I'm so much cooler online Yeah I'm cooler online When you got my kinda stats, it's hard to get a date Let alone a real girlfriend But I grow another foot And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in Online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6'5 and I look damn good Even on a slow day, I can have a three way Chat with two women at one time I'm so much cooler online Yeah I'm cooler online I'm so much cooler online Yeah I'm cooler online…; Added by Bill Ward at 2:06pm on July 29, 2010
