Millennials in the workplace

Articles about millennials always peak my interest (mostly because I am one). I recently read this on Ragan.com and wanted to share this with you.

Most of the articles about my age group say that we are ungrateful, not loyal, quick to demand and quick to leave if our wishes aren't heard. This article doesn't attack, but points out the pros and cons of working with the younger generation. You can view it here.

My favorite part of the article? Where the author, Dave Fleet,  says that "Millennials should also be aware that there are two types of meetings to which they’ll be invited. In one type of meeting, they will be expected to remain quiet and learn. In the other, they will be expected to take an active part in the discussion. New employees should make sure that they know which type of meeting they are attending."

This struck me the most as I couldn't have said it better myself. Over the past 4 years in the professional workplace, I have learned to bit my tongue in certain situations and voice my opinions in others.

What hit home with you?
