Using a very broad brush to generalize, the millennial generation is the "I want it and I want it NOW" generation, having grown up with helicopter parents and 7th place trophies. Contrast that to boomers that exemplified delayed gratification, worked at something from age 12 or 14 through retirement, often working at only one or two companies throughout their adult lifetime. The delusion that older people are standing in their way as they try to move (or jump) up the ladder to success is just more folly and consistent with the entitlement attitude. 7th place results don;t get one anything in corporate America. Buckle up ! You might actually have to miss one of your kids soccer games and work past 430 !!
