that players make high salaries is a given in the discussion and completely pointless to bring up. but i see you went and dragged them there millennials and their feelings into it so there's probably little chance of putting together a fruitful discussion. have a nice one

Yay....blame millennials

I think it is important to understand how the change in culture impacts things.

Joe P reported that Hurney really likes the new QB and what he brings to the table.

That settles it.

Bitching about the younger generation is a theme as old as time. It has equally been as idiotic now as it has always been. Its almost never based on reality.

 

 

Millennials don’t have a reputation as a hard-working generation. The caricature of the Millennial worker is more or less a cartoon of an entitled recipient of hundreds of plastic participation trophies who cares less about paying his dues at work and more about perks like flex-time, beer carts, and nap rooms. Or perhaps I should say that “we” have that reputation, since I’m technically a Millennial — most demographers put the start-date for this generation at 1981.

But according to a new survey by Project:Time Off and GfK, Millennials are actually more likely to see themselves — proudly — as “work martyrs” than older workers, and less likely to use all their vacation time. The researchers surveyed roughly 5,000 full-time employees who receive paid time off as a benefit, and found that Millennials were much more likely to agree with four statements they used to assess work martyrdom:

• “No one else at my company can do the work while I’m away.”
• “I want to show complete dedication to my company and job.”
• “I don’t want others to think I am replaceable.”
• “I feel guilty for using my paid time off.”

43% of work martyrs were Millennials, compared with just 29% of overall survey respondents. Millennials were also more likely to want to be seen as work martyrs than older workers; specifically, 48% of Millennials wanted their bosses to see them that way, while only 39% of Gen X did and 32% of Boomers did. 35% of Millennials thought it was good to be seen as a work martyr by colleagues, while only 26% and 20% of X’s and Boomers agreed, respectively.

Millennials are also more likely to forfeit unused vacation days than other groups — 24% of Millennials, 19% of Gen Xers, and 17% of Boomers forfeited time off that they’d earned. (This ought to be an especially bitter pill for Millennials to swallow given that, due to their juniority in the workforce, they earn less vacation time overall than older workers.)

Although it’s often said that Millennials are different from older generations, there’s little evidence to support it. Most studies purporting to show differences between Millennials and the Gen X and Boomer generations actually just show differences between young people and older people; as they age, young people in many respects become more like their elders. Consider, for example, the quarter-life crisis. It’s a phase lots of twentysomethings go through before they learn to cope better with stress and negative feelings.

Fug I still feel sick when I re remember that JR has gotten rid of the best GM in our history

Not bringing back a certain former DE didn't go over well in the locker room either btw.  There's a way (at least in Hogwarts if not reality) to still throw the league a $hitburger and team a bone.

Nice cut and paste. Apparently you, or whoever did that research doesn't supervise millennials. Go take a leadership course if you don't believe me. I didn't say that millennials don't have great things to offer, I said that they are going to base more on feelings than those who came before them. And, I am not that old.

I'm 33 and have been in management in various industries for over a decade and if we're going to argue from a fallacious perspective of anecdote I'll say that I've had by far a greater issue with entitlement from older employees who are content with Bitching about lazy millenials while I constantly have to replace them with said millenials because the older employees become content and stagnate professionally while the younger generation out paces them in professional improvement.

i would agree it was mishandled

Not only that, Gettleman admitted it was mis handled as well and as much as said he would handle it differently if he had it to do over.  The guy IMO was always willing to learn and take criticism. Much as some huddlers want to bitch about g mans ego, if you listen to his pressers  he is always self effacing if a bit adamant in his positions on what he would or would not reveal.

Anyone who doesn't see the benefit of workplace moral either doesn't work in a supervisory role or they're terrible at it imo.

Wait!? The GM did something that the players didn't like? Precident says fire his ass. No? I  distinctly remember Gettleman bashers using that as the sole reason that it made sense to can him. 

Hahaha double standard around here isn't it?  Gman can cut guys like Smitty and Norman yet he is a God.  Hurney releases our 3rd string QB and he has killed the locker room.  Smh

Booze nose needs to get another SS....

[TPanther920]

I haven't had the pleasure of working with millenials. I can't find one that has a clean driving record, can pass a background check, and can give up pot for 3 days so he can pass a piss test. I do know a few outside my industry that are very successful but would probably not be welcome here as they are raging capitalists.
