This is another one of those posts challenging the assumption that as Millennials storm their way into the workforce theyre going to radically change the landscape and force organizations to adapt to their idiosyncratic ideals in order to harness their power and survive. Millennials arent any different. Millennial: Yes we are!

Well, a week after that one, McAfee posted another , this one about what goes wrong when Millennials take their connected habits too far. Millennials want truth and equality in the workplace.

A little while ago, Neil Howe called attention on his blog to a New York Times feature story about a 24-year-old Millennial who, even amidst the Great Recession, is living at home and turning down $40K job offers until just the right opportunity comes along. Why should Millennials be spared that difficulty and humiliation?
