Young people today
Before you bemoan the actions, communication styles or habits of ‘young people today’, it’s worth remembering that you were young once.
When you first came into the workforce - regardless of what you did - you had been raised differently than your parents had been raised. You had access to more information than they had. You had access to technology (even if it was just a calculator!) that they didn’t have and as a result of these things, had different ideas and opinions of the way things should be done.
So, rather than moan about how things have changed and point imaginary fingers at those who have changed them, try empathy and education instead. Keep in mind that you were ‘young people today’ once and expected those who were older to understand you and keep up with newer ways of doing things.
Today’s new employees are no different.
