Lefty SigMillennial Affinity Group
My employer has "affinity groups" for various ethnic groups - Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian, South Asian (Indian), African American, Latin American, etc.
These are company sanctioned social groups that promote and educate about their various cultures. I have learned basic Chinese from that affinity group, and associated with the Southeast Asians because of family and personal relationships.
But a little while ago a "Millenial" affinity group arose, promoting their "creativity" and other BS.
Seriously? The most entitled and self-important generation of the last 100 years needs a special group to express how special they are.
My observation is simple: They roll in around 8:45, take 1.5 to 2 hour lunches, leave at 4, are perpetually late for meetings, and trumpet the "it's the work I do not the hours I keep" mantra.
Sorry, but no one is fooled when you are "working from home" on Friday afternoon after you leave at noon.

I wonder how they feel after they've missed a few key 0730/0800 meetings...they can explain that to their new employer.
