After reading Jessica’s post, I watched an awful 60 Minutes piece on Millenials (what they’re calling people our age these days). Apparently, we’re spoiled “narcissistic praise hounds” because we don’t subscribe to the exact same ideals our parents did when it comes to work and lifestyle.
The part that made me laugh the most was Morley Safer’s face when he questioned the audacity of our generation to put our own well being above that of the company we work for.
Mr. Safer, if I may, sir? Fuck your corporate jobs. I don’t give a fuck about them and they certainly don’t give a fuck about me. We’ve watched companies lay off hardworking people who for 30 years repeatedly sacrificed for their company, only to be laid off right before they’re eligible for a pension.
I’ll be avoiding that fate, thank you very much.
