It seems like each generation does complain about the generation behind them. As an employer and businessman for decades I would disagree with that assessment. Most of my peers complain about not being able to find young people who want to "work". I think that has always been true regardless of the generation. It is no better or no worse than it ever was. On the same note there are many young people who want to work hard, excel, grow, keep learning, take on responsibility etc. As an employer it is also your job to nurture those folks.
I have also found that if someone looks like they fell face first into a fishing tackle box, has long hair, short hair etc. it doesn't matter as a predictor of being a decent employee. (I do draw the line at facial tattoos).
The young folks that are the idiots that demand "safe spaces", want to stifle free speech etc. it too shall pass. It won't be long till they are grinding it out like the rest of us. No different from the Jane Fondas etc. of my generation. One can only hope that unlike Jane Fonda you don't do something terribly foolish while you're young that will follow you the rest of your life.
