A 2015 Gallup Poll found that Millennials are the least engaged cohort in the workplace, with only 28.9% saying that they are engaged at work. This, combined with high turnover rates and greater freelance and entrepreneurial opportunities, means that if companies want to retain these valued workers, they will have to double their efforts to meet Millennials where they are

A 2015 report on Millennials from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce emphasized flex-time as one way to do this — it found that three out of four Millennials reported that work-life balance drives their career choice

Multiple studies have revealed that Millennials are keen to see their work as addressing larger societal concerns

It finds that millennials are less wealthy than people of a similar age were in any year from 1989 to 2007.

Millennials do more freelance and part-time work than other generations did, which makes it more difficult to obtain an employer-provided pension.

Only 55% of this generation have access to retirement plans, compared with 77% of Generation X and 80% of baby-boomers.

Now, it is the Millennials’ turn to be the whipping boys, and girls. Their attitudes are in sharp contrast with those of the Boomers who are increasingly running the organizations where they work. While Boomers believe strongly in the value of experience and working your way up, Millennials are seen as feeling entitled and over-pampered by parents only too well aware of how challenging the workplace has become for those who are not sufficiently prepared

Millennials are significantly more likely to ask for a pay rise and a promotion than their counterparts in either of the preceding generations

they are also rather more likely than their elders to complain of long hours.

They’re the greatest generation — of couch potatoes.

A growing number of 18- to-34-year-olds, the world’s largest age group, prefer to unwind by staying in, watching Netflix and ordering Seamless, rather than by getting down at a club or bellying up to a bar.

on average, millennials stream 2.7 hours of TV shows a day, while the earlier generation, Gen X, does about 1.8 hours.

AMC Theaters issued a statement on Twitter saying that due to the negative response, it will not proceed with the plan to allow cellphones inside its theaters: "With your advice in hand, there will be NO TEXTING ALLOWED in any of the auditoriums at AMC Theaters. Not today, not tomorrow and not in the foreseeable future."

"When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear 'please cut off your left arm above the elbow,'" Aron told Variety. "You can't tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That's not how they live their life ...

and one way would be taking "specific auditoriums and make them more texting friendly." 

Sixty percent of millennials, ages 22-32, have changed jobs between one and four times in the last five years, according to State Street Global Advisors

it's clear that millennials won't stay with companies for money alone

Like many members of her generation, Davis has the requisite side hustles

Maybe this is because I’m young, but, like, I don’t think that there is a lot about my personal life that I wouldn’t want to incorporate into what I’m doing professionally,”

Meditation, Ms. Guler said, is an antisocial way of interacting with the world. She views astrology as a form of collective wellness, with Co-Star helping people relate to each other based on star signs. Another big difference between astrology and meditation’s practitioners: Astrologers are not allergic to making money.

Co-Star promotes its use of artificial intelligence and data from NASA to track movements of the stars.

the selfie-loving nanoinfluencer generation is eager to hear that they’re unique and special, no matter how woo-woo it seems

A workplace sabbatical would provide eligible full-time employees with a pre-determined schedule for taking extended time off to pursue personal interests or to be with family.

Not only would your employees be recharged by virtue of a sabbatical, but they would be very clear that their company cares about their well-being and not just the bottom-line.

Для поколения 22-26 лет деньги в работе ценностью не являются

Для них главной ценностью в работе является реализация

пойми меня кто я и выведи меня туда, где я буду реализован

A generation gap is widening in the workplace. As baby boomers (ages 51 to 69 or so) express reluctance about retiring, so-called millennials (roughly ages 18 to 34) have become the single largest demographic in the American labor force. Because of this, more older workers have found themselves being hired and managed by people much younger than they are

Robert Goldfarb, 85, a working management consultant. “The moment I enter the office of a prospective client, there’s an elephant in the room,” he wrote. “My age.”

I doubt anyone will be surprised to hear that many readers emphasized staying current with technology. Many also pointed out that this is easier to do than ever: From instructional YouTube videos to courses at your local library, the resources are endless.

The workplace has traditionally consisted of “old-timers” with 20 to 30 years of experience under their belts and the young “hot-shots” who know-it-all. The younger workers have historically viewed older workers as stuck in their ways.

Sproutling promises to use wearable, sensor-driven technology to give parents insight into their child's sleeping patterns. It does this with a wearable anklet, a charging dock with a novel UI, and an app

The app uses animations, not hard numbers, to provide an at-a-glance reassurance that your baby is alive and well ("New parents aren't going to know if 130 beats per minute is better than 90, and without the medical context to understand vitals data it's just going to cause more fear and anxiety and needless calls to the doctor,"

This generation of new parents are millennials. "They grew up with a smartphone in their pocket, so they're looking for technology to solve their problems,"

"There's a certain class of content which is only going to come onto Facebook if there's a good way to compensate content owners for that,"

"We've recently rolled out the business model for this. We'll give a revenue share on a portion of the views to content owners

To grasp the scope of change unraveling in content creation, which is increasingly fragmented, consider all the mobile apps on your smartphone.

Gen Z shares the entrepreneurial spirit of Millennial innovators: About 72% of current high-schoolers want to own their own businesses, and 76% hope they can turn their hobbies into full-time jobs.

Gen Zers influence $600 billion of family spending.

За ними давно уже закрепились особые названия типа «поколение Y» или «миллениты» (millennials, «тысячелетники»), ибо в новый век и тысячелетие они вошли подростками, которые первыми родились и стали созревать в мире цифровых технологий, где уже рухнули стены глобального идеологического раскола, грозившего мировой катастрофой.

Чтобы уже сегодня не только отчетливо увидеть действительно влиятельную молодежь, но и ясно понимать комплекс продвигаемых ею великих идей, надо сделать несколько парадоксальную вещь. Просто чуть повнимательнее присмотреться к тому, что делают прямо сейчас наиболее умные из людей более старших поколений.

Если кто-то вдруг совсем не в курсе или уже успел подзабыть, то судебные власти США методично и целенаправленно сфабриковали против Шварца и его «подрывной идеологии» крупномасштабное уголовное преследование – с комплексом обвинений, тянувших на срок тюремного заключения от 30 до 50 лет. И все это за то, надо подчеркнуть, что Шварц, по сути дела, брал и копировал слишком много библиотечных книг и журналов. Формулируя точнее, он легальными методами, но в автоматическом режиме выкачал через сеть университета MIT гигантское количество научных публикаций из коммерческого архива JSTOR – «с очевидным намерением затем распространять эти файлы через интернет», что прямо следовало из его публичных выступлений о необходимости «освобождать знания». То есть собственно факта распространения еще не было, однако влепить дюже умному хакеру полсотни лет тюрьмы за это будущее «преступление» власти собирались вполне решительно.
