Parody video: Managing Millennials

Written by: Karl Sakas

This 4-minute parody training video went viral, with over 600,000 views so far. The New York Times mentioned it in its recent article, “For Millennials, a Generational Divide.”

True, false, or in between?

In my experience, it comes down the individual, regardless of their generation—a parody or other humor paints a broad-brushed view, but day-to-day management is more nuanced than that. Not every Millennial is as entitled as the video’s actors suggest.

What do you think?

What’s been your experience hiring and managing Generation Y employees and contractors at your digital marketing agency?
