Generation Y - You've got to be kidding me!

A recent management-issues article claims "Generation Y still wants it all". Here's quick list of Gen-Y demands that many managers will have to deal with even in these difficult times:

• less than a 40 hour work week
• flexible work hours
• concerned they would not be able to keep up with interests outside of work
• concerned they would be overworked by their employers
• 33% want to 'travel' on the job but less than 10% want to relocate
  

Hey Gen-Y! Get a clue! It's called work for a reason - you're expected to work your A$$ off. If you're concerned about your social life try being 'social' w/o a dollar in your pocket! It doesn't work so well does it? Concerned you'll be 'overworked'? Get used to it!

Here's my suggestions to Gen-Y:

• Be thankful you have a job
• Work your a$$ off
• Keep your mouth shut
• Keep your eyes open
  
• Help those in the cubicles around you
• Show up early
• Leave late
  

We IT veterans are tired of picking up the pieces left behind by you Gen-Y flunkies! Get a clue! You're young, inexperienced and now you want your boss to cut you some slack because your social life is interfering w/ your work assignments? Not on my watch!
