By now, it’s an open secret that some of the Gen-Y youngsters—those born between 1980 to 2000—have got some serious attitude problems: from having a strong sense of entitlement to being weaklings. Of course, we’re talking about some of them, and that people born before them might also exhibit the same traits, but let’s all face the fact once and for all: most of them come from the Generation Y.
And while it might just be inconvenience for many, it’s disastrous to some. Or even dangerous.
They’re making the job market look grim
The truth is, these Gen-Yers have lots of opportunities, but their sense of entitlement just makes society look like there’re not enough jobs for them. Come on, if they’re not picky, or haven’t requested for a job that pays $5,000 a month and just working two hours a day, it’s will be an employees’ market out there.
They’re telling us that shortcuts are possible
If you scroll through Facebook, you’ll see posts that advertise stuff like “Work 2 hours a day and earn $1,000 a week”. If you think no one falls for it, think again: Why would they advertise something that doesn’t acquire new customers? In other words, yes, there’re many people falling to these “schemes”, and you’ll be surprised at how many Gen-Yers believe that working full-time in a company is a waste of time when they could just, you know, work two hours a day and earn $4,000 a month.
They’re too reliant on the Internet
The Internet is a double-edged sword—used correctly, it could be the best thing ever. Used wrongly, and there would be serious repercussions. Some Gen-Yers, especially those born after 1990, would rely on Internet so much that the only reason there’s no one on the street is that they’re on the Internet.
They’re telling us that we all have rights that we actually didn’t have
Sure, we all have human rights, but these Gen-Yers tend to fight for rights that benefit just them. And some people might be misled into thinking that these are the basic rights we all have. Like, you know, three meals a day? Do you work for them, or do you ask for them?
They’re telling us to blame everyone except ourselves
The blame factor is just too damn high here. Just go to Facebook and scroll through your newsfeed: chances are, you’ll see complaints, and chances are, they’re Gen-Yers. It’s always someone else’s fault.
They want us to hate anyone who is successful
A long, long time ago, when you see a successful person, you’ll go, “Wah, how I wish I were him.” Now, when you see a successful person, you’ll go, “He’s just lucky. I hate him.”
It’s really amazing how this changed in mere 30 years.
They’re going to show the wrong values to their kids
There’re Gen-Yers who are parents themselves, and if they subscribe to the values mentioned above, they’re going to impart the wrong values to their kids. I’ve a friend who’s jobless for years and yet married with kids. Well, his ATM is from his parents—in other words, one old couple supports two generations. Like, seriously.
