[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, but I don't feel bad.  This is a conscious choice you made, to give up your career and be supported by your husband, and you are now perceived as always putting career on the back burner.  PTSA and HOA simply don't translate to the real world.[/quote]

^^ burned by the ex-wife for alimony,  are ya?[/quote]

Uh, hardly. I'm a  (female, with young kids) hiring manager who would never pass up a motivated young recent grad for someone who quit voluntarily and is now out of the game. Harsh but true. Based on OP's post I'm not alone.[/quote]

I am sorry you are so bitter that someone else is raising your children while you work your important job of hiring manager.
Some women can handle that other women made the choice to stay home, but you obviously can't.  I'm sorry for you.

You go ahead and hire millennials and I'll be laughing at all the training and behavior modification your organization will need to do because of your misguided philosophy! [/quote]

Although I disagree with your "someone else is raising your children" comment, I am with you in terms of hiring millennials vs. an older worker.

My company prefers new grads....they are cheap and have great enthusiasm. [b]Of the 8 new hires we on boarded this past year - only one of them is still with us. Enthusiasm is great, but we didn't need idea people..we wanted staff that can make solid decisions and execute on a given plan.[/b] We don't want everything to be about social media, we didn't appreciate the amount of time spent on chatting, complaining about how things are done around here, and the entitlement. It was comical to see how serious these kids were about how we are not meeting their expectations! We let them all go, except for the one and hired 4 "older" contractors who have been very impressive and get the job done. You get what you pay for.[/quote]

I wonder what your company/field is.

What motivates millennials at work more than anything is seeing that a particular position can lead to something. It's why millenials bust their ass in unpaid or shitty paying jobs on the Hill or in industries like finance or consulting where there is a clear progression laid out and companies are invested in the development of talent.
