While it’s essentially a noun to refer
to those who’ve reached adulthood in
the 00s, the popular term “millennial”
often comes off today as an adjective
that’s almost derogatory. Admit it. It
worms into our every conversation
with peers, superiors, and even par-
ents only to describe us as too enti-
tled, too impatient, and too demand-
ing—yet, it’s also implied that we don’t
have the skills and the work ethic to
back this ‘tude up. A quick search on
Google News about millennials would
lead us to rather passive-aggressive
articles titled “When the manager is a
millennial” or “Millennials, here’s how
to stop comparing yourselves to oth-
ers.” (Yes, these are actual articles on
Forbes and The Financial Times!) In
terms of building a career, we millen-
nials are called out for ditching any
kind of corporate system who would
instead proceed to start our own biz.
The reason? We are too tired follow-
ing orders. We really want to be our
own boss—ASAP.
