Noticing something disturbing, at least to me, in the up and coming in the work force. And I am not the only one noticing this, I have talked to several other people in many different professions and they all seem to be noticing the same thing.
As us old fogies get older, and head for retirement, there are younger folk coming into the work force. Now this is nothing shocking, this is the way it has been since I started working and old fogies were talking about me. I am enough of an fogey to have seen this repeated several times and thought nothing of it. However this newer group of younger folk seem different, they seam to have major issues with socialization. There is a young guy they recently hired who is very well educated and highly intelligent, I see as highly socially inept and appears to have a complete lack of understanding of manors.
Another thing, also across professions, appear that they want to start off at the top of the heap; pay rate and benefits. As one doctor I know told me they were having trouble hiring because the kids out of med school showed up dictating terms they had to have. Such as no call, no weekends, no evenings, and much time off, as much as 6 to 8 weeks per year. I'm related to doctors who have been in the business for well over 30 years, who are heads of their practice, who still take call....on weekends.
