[quote=Anonymous]I hate to judge an entire generation…I am 32, so not far removed from this. I worked at a pretty competitive consulting firm for about six years (left recently) and in my time there had the following situations with new graduates:

1) Someone having their mother text me to explain why they weren’t coming to work. 
2) Someone sitting at a client site with their feet on their desk watching a movie. 
3) Someone telling me (not asking) at 9 AM that they would be ‘working from home’ beginning at 1 PM. I needed something from them that afternoon and asked them to get on a call: ‘working from home’ was apparently going through airport security. We could hardly hear each other and they said they didn’t have access to their laptop to provide the required data. I had to explain that they needed to take PTO for these situations. 
4) Someone wearing ripped jeans to the client site (after I explained that business professional attire needed to be worn there). I confronted them about it and the person said they couldn’t afford dress slacks. I suggested a local consignment shop that I’d had good luck at and they said they didn’t want to wear secondhand clothes for sanitary reasons. [/quote]
