[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=yamashi1] The one thing you are correct about though is the “pay their dues” theory. Like I said before, we are results oriented people who believe in a just and meritocratic society. We believe that you don’t deserve a job because of the color of your skin, the amount of gray hair you have, or the amount of hours you sit in front of your computer. We believe in the bottom line, how much $ you bring into the company, how much impact you have to the bottom line. [/quote]
My observation is millennials also care about social justice and the environment. They care about what they eat and how they consume. Maybe they don’t care all the much to become activists, but the right message of compassion is important.[/quote]
I identify with a kinder, gentler millennial identity. I don’t think that “face time,” age, seniority, etc. are necessarily indicative of value in the workplace. By the same turn — demonstrated in this very thread — concepts of meritocracy are subjective and can run very far afield of what I would consider just, in the office and in the larger community.
