I can’t wait until this lazy, tired anti-generational trope moves on to the next generation.


I don't think this is the typical "gen blah is lazy/entitled". This is a specific description of how young people today want to "bring their whole selves to work". As far as I know, this claim was never made about prior generations.

Full disclosure, I am on the old side of the millenial generation, though I have never identified as a millenial. To me, I'm Gen Y: born in the early 80s, and I remember life before personal computers were common.


I’m same age as you, and all my peers are grumpy-“I don’t care what demographers day, I’m not a millennial!” millennials too ;)

We didn’t have computers as kids, but we came of age when technology was transforming the world. We think and live in terms of technology in a way that is starkly different from the generations before us, and after us. We’re millennials.


As someone right on the edge between Gen X and Millenials (with traits of both), I’m delighted to call myself part of the Oregon Trail Generation.
