Are “millennials are ruining the workforce”? Millennials respond

Another baby boomer has written an “old woman yells at cloud” thinkpiece, blaming the decline of the workforce on millennials’ “obliviousness.”

This time, it’s Sandy Hingston at Philadelphia. Weird name choices and a reluctance to accept hierarchy in the workforce has Hingston concerned about “how millennials are ruining the workforce.”

Part of the blame is due to how they were raised.

“It’s technology that’s skewing the picture, of course,” she writes. “My generation was raised on stories and myths about people who trudged their way through the ranks to positions of power …  Millennial fairy tales are all about disrupters, the young Jacks who slay the old, slow giants.”

Like previous writers who waded into the “millennials doom America” genre, criticism against her was swift.
