Gen Y Workers Reinventing IT for the Better
buzzardsbay writes "We all know the complaints about young employees. They depend too much on their parents' money, they need constant hand-holding, they have no job loyalty, they demand more than they're worth, they disrespect older employees, and they're naive about corporate culture. But despite this conventional wisdom, there's growing evidence that the different working styles of Gen Y workers might be causing fundamental — and beneficial — changes in the way enterprises run, especially when it comes to IT. For example, they may show better judgment when making tech purchases and are often better with green IT initiatives. This is a nice counterpoint to a previous story (and resulting incendiary comments) that dubbed young tech workers a risk to corporate networks."

This is exactly the attitude that gets your IT staff pissed off. When half of their work can only be performed after everyone else has gone home for the day and are on call 24/7 for whenever something goes wrong, believe me, you certainly don't trump them."
You know...if someone is holding a GUN to your head forcing you to do this....PLEASE call the police.

How in bloody hell does pointing out that the link is going to members.on.nimp.org constitute flamebait? Hell, read the posting history for Lord Haw Haw.
Or, should I assume the trolls posting this crap somehow have gotten themselves mod points??

Make sure you discuss the age versus wisdom thing when your department manager sees you've been doing blog entries during the work day :-)
I, for one welcome our new amoral, self-serving young overlords.
Yes, and they wore miniskirts and you could give them a nice slap on the ass to say "job well done!" Ahh the 50s...
True, but you didn't have to look like Bond to be able to do it in the 50s ;-)
