Well I am a Gen Y and I can agree that some are lazy. I'm doing my apprenticeship at the moment, and the amount of apprentices that are lazy and expect something for nothing is astounding. But it isn't as bad as what I saw at uni when i went (before I dropped out.. hah). There are so many who have never had an actual job, just sailing through life having everything paid for by their parents. Rego, phone bills, uni fees, petrol.. the whole lot! There is a lack of responsibility showing which annoys me, as we're not all like that!
Alot of my friends I'd be scared to see how they go in the 'real' world. Most of them have absolutely no idea what it is like to have a 'boss' telling them what to do, having a rediculous deadline (do a 4 hour job in 1 yep no worries boss) or even the requirement to show up to work in time. I'm not going to really get into religion here as it isn't really appropriate- but I have found that alot of my generation is into it... heavily. They put it as their first priority and from an employers point of view (family has a restaurant) it is extremely annoying! They will expect the employer to have complete 100% understanding if they want to go to a church event on a night/day where they are expected/required to work.. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!
I could go on forever about how frustrating it is to have pretty much everyone think our generation is lazy because well, it is true to about 80% of us.
