The Millennials

I learned this past weekend that my grandchildren are members of the Millennials, that generation born between 1980 and 2000.
Opinions about the Millennials are almost universally rhapsodic: they are family and team-oriented, patriotic, confident, hopeful, goal-oriented.
In the workplace, they look for learning opportunities, the chance to work with friends, fun, flexibility and respectful treatment.
Millennials are lucky, employers are “desperate” to hire them, and will continue to be so for years to come because of my generation’s hypothetical upcoming retirement from the workforce (as if most of us could afford to retire).
