Why is generation y so rude

Now we're in the working world where if you make a mistake and get called out for it, [it seems as if it's] almost a better idea to jump off a cliff than come into work tomorrow. Mistakes happen to everyone. They do not mean your career is over. As a Millennial If you don't work for a Silicon Valley tech giant, you probably won't have daily catered meals, a full-time barista, and free dry cleaning delivered to the office.

Expecting and asking for those Most of the consumer world is Millennial, and sharing the consumer's voice is valuable. However, you need to be articulate and crisp. Also, they should use the word 'awesome' in moderation. It's become the go-to Millennial phrase, but it's overused. Be youthful, but have a range of words that express excitement or pleasure. No Millennial we've encountered wants to take their time to train through a process, [so] our most recent hire has been someone in the Baby Boomer generation.

From , when the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking were first administered, through the mids, creativity scores in children increased. Then they dropped, falling sharply in Scores on tests of empathy similarly fell sharply, starting in , likely because of both a lack of face-to-face time and higher degrees of narcissism. As with most sales, positivity and confidence work best.

Keith Campbell, a psychology professor at the University of Georgia, who has written three books about generational increases in narcissism including When You Love a Man Who Loves Himself.

When everyone is telling you about their vacations, parties and promotions, you start to embellish your own life to keep up. If you do this well enough on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter, you can become a microcelebrity. Millennials grew up watching reality-TV shows, most of which are basically documentaries about narcissists. Now they have trained themselves to be reality-TV-ready. I would like that gold statue. And then I will take a photo of it, and then I will Instagram it.

I have gone just about as far as I can in an article without talking about myself. It was impossible not to remember, the whole time I was accusing millennials of being lazy, that I was supposed to finish this article nearly a year ago.

Will They Ever? I moved home for the first six months after college. When I got hired at Time, my co-workers hated me for cozying up to the editor of the magazine. I talk to one of my parents every other day and depend on my dad for financial advice.

So while the entire first half of this article is absolutely true I had data! And then people were farmers and factory workers. Because of online dating, Facebook circles and the ability to connect with people internationally, they no longer have to marry someone from their high school class or even their home country. One became a pilot; one became a doctor.

In fact, a lot of what counts as typical millennial behavior is how rich kids have always behaved. The Internet has democratized opportunity for many young people, giving them access and information that once belonged mostly to the wealthy. When I was growing up in the s, I thought I would be a lawyer, since that was the best option I knew about for people who sucked at math in my middle-class suburb, but I saw a lot more options once I got to Stanford.

Thousands of young fellows have come home from the war intent on setting up a home with the girl of their heart only to find that there are no homes to be had… Many men, of course, have not waited for houses, but have got married and gone into rooms or to live with relatives, but neither course can be considered very satisfactory.

One expert suggests that millennials stay children for so long because they have been coddled by their parents and have had things 'too good'. Many friends are getting married or having a baby for the first time. Based on new data he and his team are collecting, Keith Campbell—a University of Georgia professor and coauthor of The Narcissism Epidemic with Twenge—now believes that narcissism has been decreasing among college students since the Great Recession of , although he still maintains that it was rising beforehand.

Campbell points to research suggesting that people who come of age in times of higher unemployment tend to become less narcissistic adults, perhaps because they experience more failures and setbacks and need to rely on others more. As researchers debate methodology, the rest of us need to ask: What happens when we classify an entire generation as entitled and vain?

Trzesniewski worries that labeling young people as narcissistic creates a harmful bias. If we expect somethings to have a superiority complex, we may respond to them differently than we would otherwise, she says. Even worse, Trzesniewski seems concerned that negative perceptions of young people could affect broader trends like their access to jobs and promotions—and their own mental health. Yet the stereotype may say more about us than it does about millennials.

A study found that people rated young adults worse on a whole range of attributes compared to older adults: more narcissistic, more overconfident, more immoral, less agreeable, and less emotionally stable.

Compared to earlier generations, people saw young adults as less hardworking, trustworthy, and caring and more self-centered and lazy. Why people exaggerate is a separate question. Maybe, Trzesniewski suggests, they forget how they used to act at a young age, a time in development when it makes sense to focus on your own identity and goals narcissism does, indeed, naturally decline with age.

Some groups may have agendas, not all of which are transparent. It might be easy to blame narcissistic millennials for everything from ruining the workforce to killing marriage.
