I replaced all the florescent light fixtures in two interstate rest stops by me with LED fixtures. The guy in charge of maintenance kept asking me how you change the bulbs in them. laugh

Sounds like fake news. I’m a millennial and I can install the light fixture and probably replace the wiring. The biggest problem I’ve noticed is the entitlement mentality of baby boomers. They are probably the hardest generation to supervise from a management perspective.

We can’t even tie our shoes Matt. You better get somebody to help you.

I love stereotypes based on when we were born. Since we are all the same!

Baby boomers would be harder to manage cause you always know exactly where to find the millennial's. Either the safe place or the cry closet. grin

You obviously haven’t had the honor of managing a boomer.

And I’m not saying that boomers are terrible. But, as a manager you need to know how to manage generational differences with all people.

All in fun Rob! I do admit though that you are the first person I have ever heard say baby boomers were harder to manage than millennial's. And I believe 9/11'ers was a term coined by Newsweek.

I did just realize something because of this thread. There are both Millennial's and Gen Z in college right now. So it's not all of the Millennial's fault our Country is going down the drain lol. They have company.

I’m not sure they even have a label yet. But they are in the workforce.

The boomers I have managed and have worked with seem to expect recognition and acclaim for just showing up and having “so many years service”. Because that is what they are owed.

Millennials that I have worked with and managed want to work hard and prove themselves because they know how they are perceived by everyone. They also want to be compensated and given promotions based on what they have accomplished and how they have performed. Not just time of service.
