Attitude can't be thrown unless the listener/reader is overly sensitive to blunt speech/text, worse if he whines about it. Youth and the related lack of experience in life has always attracted teasing from those, ummm, further along the road. Always will (you kids'll get your turn).Throwing Shade, is to throw "attitude."
It would have been in the context that he did an excellent job on the project or whatever. Drained it like a baller. Nothing but net.Oh my dear jesus, don't tell me it was a sexual innuendo LOL :lol:
If that were the case, I support that decision
You're entitled to think what you want, but anybody who stands up is alright by me. I have respect for people (young or older) who participate and don't take crap lying down.These 24 hour per day news stations always showing these people protesting are what's giving you all a bad name.
You can find people like that in any generation though, I don't think it has as much to do with the age of those individuals. Perhaps your older employees have worked for you longer, developed a greater bond with the company and therefore naturally are more willing to go out of their way to aid you. But I've experienced first hand, daily as of now, people that are near twice my age or older exhibit poor behavior and attitude towards the company and refuse to do anything above what is "required" of them. I don't contribute that to their age, I just think some people are lazy in general, and those people are of all ages.I'm not condemning an entire generation. These are just some frustrations with the younger folks I have. I'm 49 and have 25 people working for me at a Fortune 50 insurance company. The 5 in their mid twenty's do an OK job. They seem to be looking for a 9-5 job, which is not always possible with the work we do. This is made clear to everyone I hire. Don't ask any of them to work later to help support the team. They always have some excuse. If someone has an emergency and needs to leave while they are on call, none of the 5 20 something employees volunteer. It is always one of the more senior members of the team who volunteer and "own" an issue rather than just putting in their time and leaving.
These are not hourly employees. They are people making 50-75k per year. The way I handle it, aside from weekly 1 on 1 meetings, is to address in their yearly review. Anyone falling into the "needs improvement" bucket gets no raise and no bonus. Get "needs improvement" 2 years in a row and you won't get a 3rd.
I get it to some degree. My generation worked 2 jobs, 18 hours a day as we typically put our jobs ahead of anything besides family. It seems some millennials have many more priorities than being part of strong team if it means we may intrude on something they find more important like a Softball game (I kid you not!)
I'll be here all week. Try the veal!I'm still grinning after having read this. Dude, you crushed it.
Shit. The voice in my head has escaped and is now posting on the web.
Already grinning from Driver 8's post up above and now laughing from this post. My face hurts.
Sounds like a positive basketball analogy. "Drained" a 3 pointer.Oh my dear jesus, don't tell me it was a sexual innuendo LOL :lol:

Not just any type. Thankfully, due to the "protesting" the light bulb shines bright on hypocrisy and silliness. Be it all the casualties from the war on women, the latest human crybaby chain, or all the college campus safe space requests - the media has made the truth clear.There have always been a segment of our democracy who've looked down at protests of any type, because they never had a reason to protest, or never felt strongly about anything, and think nobody has a right to free speech other than themselves. Welcome to the 24 hour news cycle.
