I probably spelled millennials wrong but who cares. Am I the only one who is beginning to sound like their fathers? My nephew just started a new job, good kid in his early twenties. College wasn't for him but he came across HVAC courses and thru some string pulling by me and a few others behind the scenes he got an apprenticeship for a Stationary Engineer. For those who haven't heard this term before this type of engineer monitors controls and operates boilers in large buildings. Long story short, if he sticks with it he's basically set for life. Pension, benefits etc. Like I said a lot of people did things to help him and it doesn't seem to understand what he was handed. I told him I'd get some tools for him and I did. Tools, work gloves, safety glasses ear plugs shit like that. Now 5 unanswered texts 3 unanswered phone calls I feel like I've been played. Kid I got this shit for you and you haven't even got the courtesy to answer the damn phone. I'm seeing so much of this with people his age. Friend's son took to long a lunch instead of taking his lumps mouths off to the boss ends up with a 2 suspension. WTF where did we go wrong with this generation. I know I'm ranting but any shop owners seeing this? Read in a trade rag for truck drivers that dispatchers dealing with new younger drivers, that they can't be told what to do. They need to know "why" it has to be done. The boss has to explain himself! In my early work career if you asked "why do I have to do this" you were gone. Hope this doesn't get blocked. Let me know what you think or what you've experienced.
Thanks Glenn
