Millennials Sick Of Bad Press
Portfolio.com takes a look at Millennials and the so-called “culture of entitlement.” Are these under-30s just too egotistical for their own good?
Millennials say that not only are the accusations of entitlement untrue, but they have hurt this generation’s ability to succeed in the workplace by promoting stereotypes. “I believe I have to prove more than older workers, even though my work has been nationally recognized,” Rodric Bradford, a senior communications specialist, told Portfolio.
“When I don’t make a sale as big as I thought, I don’t understand why my clients don’t see I’m the best person for the job,” a marketing representative told Portfolio “Then I humble myself, and I realize that hard work, patience, and networking will build my business over time.”
And those delusions of grandeur which cause 20-somethings to inflate their titles and ask for bigger salaries? Some say that’s just a consequence of the workplace environment.
