Young IT Workers Disillusioned, Hard to Retain
bednarz writes to mention that NetworkWorld has an interesting examination of young IT professionals and why many make unreasonable demands for their services. "'The issue managers are facing is with retention, not hiring. That means the work environment is not living up to the employee's expectation,' he says. For instance, many younger workers expect to get an office immediately or be paid at a rate higher than entry level."
Many of us "millenials" may want more from our job. Is this entirely unreasonable? No. Because we have university degrees. Our parents generation often did not. We do not go into large debt and spend years getting educated in order to start out at the bottom. But there seems to be this sort of race to the bottom. Masters is the new bachelors.
