Managing Young Fundraisers - Resource Center - AFP

Managing Young Fundraisers - Resource Center - AFP: Sigh...another critical expose of Generation Y in the workplace.

In a recent radio interview, an HR consultant was speaking dismissively about young workers’ supposed sense of entitlement, their reluctance to work overtime, and their need for constant praise. My frustration mounted as I listened to him pile on one criticism after another, but this complaint was particularly irritating: “In job interviews, Gen Ys seem to be more interested in asking about the position they will be promoted into rather than the one they are actually applying for.”
