1.That jobs arent as stable as they used to be.
Were now asked to constantly be on call to come back into work.
Remember that day off you looked forward to all week?
Artem Beliaikin
Nope, boss called you in.
You dont show up to said call-in because you arent going to work unless its overtime pay?
Need to find another shitty job for shitty pay.
Set schedules are never a thing anymore (at least in my experience.
Were expected to be the most efficient, mindless, obedient generation of citizens and workers.
Were asked to constantly be working efficiently even away from work.
Rest isnt a thing anymore.
2.Millennials are not one homogenous group.
Some are successful, some are struggling.
Some are urban, some are rural.
Some have college education, some do not.
Some live with their parents, some live alone.
Some have marriage and kids, some are single.
Dont fall for this bullshit.
Ive met 20 year olds that are ELSes, and Ive met 60 year olds that are ELSes.
Its not a generational thing.
3.Every time you bash millennials for taking participation ribbons remember who came up with that stupid fucking idea.
Here is a clue: it wasnt us.
4.We dont get online just to chat or play mindless games.
We like to read and learn.
We just know how to make it fun.
5.I think we are the only gen to have grown up in both the pre-internet and internet era.
I remember growing up with VCRs and Walkmans.
I remember dial-up internet when the internet was still a gimmick and not all that interesting.
I remember growing up in a state of constant change.
Both socially, politically and technologically.
6.Every time I read a thread about being a millennial, it just ends in depression.
Thats the legacy our parents generations have left us depression and anxiety.
7.That nearly every place you apply wants you to do it online.
No, going in will not help you get your foot in the door.
More often than not its just going to annoy them.
I legit could have told you this would happen.
8.The whole I had my house paid by the time I was 25 from old people.
Houses cost a whole lot less then, Barbara.
9.We may very well be the first over-educated generation in the history of this country.
MOST of us have college degrees, and very sizable portion of us have graduate degrees too.
No, Im not lazy.
I just dont think I should have to work two full time jobs just to survive.
11.The average millennial is 30 years old, not a teenybopper or college kid.
Old people have absolutely no patience for anything.
Younger people typically have more manners.
13.Back in my day we used too…
Sadly we are not back in your day we are in the future, stuff changes.
14.I cant afford to live on my own.
I have a degree, goddammit.
I dont have kids, I dont have unnecessary extra expenses to cut out of my life.
I just cant afford to live on my own.
Thats just how our economy is right now.
like, stop shaming millennials for needing help to afford HOUSING and FOOD.
Two incomes are borderline necessary in this economy, so dont try and make me become a housewife.
I cant AFFORD to be a housewife.
I cant AFFORD children.
I cant AFFORD a HOME.
Were not destroying industries like diamonds, magazines, designer handbags, and starter homes.
Those industries arent accessible to a lot of us!!!
15.Things are different, and thats okay.
We talk, socialize, and work very differently then people did even 10 years ago.
Its not bad; its just different.
16.yo stop trying to get us to go to Chilis/Applebees/Olive Garden.
If you make us explain, well sound snobby, just… just.
17.That most of us dont want kids not out of selfishness but because we cant afford them.
18.Ageism is real form of discrimination.
19.STEM degrees are not a ticket to success.
There are like, six STEM degrees that equal a well paying job after college.
Its because you have your kids and grandkids to do that shit for you.
Stop shitting on technology and maybe just say thank you to them.
21.Labor jobs are not shameful and it’s possible for you to actually earn good money doing it.
22.The whole Just go get a better job/put out for a promotion line of thought.
Nothing against them, as sometimes they can have brilliant ideas/techniques.
Yep, doctor median, thats surely what I signed up for.
(Drowning in debt, hey send help.)
26.The economy is growing but our paychecks arenot.
27.Were not depressed because were weak, were depressed because the world is literally shit.
29.Fax machines are fucking stupid and inefficient.
30.College is a fucking scam 85% of the time.
Education is great but debt slavery is ruining our lives.
31.We are ruining industries because we are poor and cant afford extraneous purchases.
32.You cant pause an online game.
33.Most things millennials gripe about arent just whiny child bs, theyre legitimate issues.
Employers requiring more experience for entry level positions.
Unreal student loan debt.
These are real issues.
Since the average retirement age keeps increasing, these issues will only get worse.
We grew up with the shit.
35.Stop building luxury apartments and condos.
hey build starter homes.
