    How does one work with a Millenial? They seem to know everything and take anything you say offensively...

    • Don't negotiate; let them own their failures for thinking they know everything and not asking for help/input.monospaced
    • Thank you.robotron3k
    • Maybe you have no actual personal adblock and are actually being offensive?face_melter
    • No ... they actually think they know everything and are offended when you give constructive feedback and ask them to do basic work tasks.monospaced
    • They think they can do everything on their own. I offer experienced input when they don't ask for any. Without fail, they always end up in a hole they dug.monospaced
    • I was told to not waste too much energy attempting unsolicited management of their shit, and to let them own their failures if it comes to that. It worked.monospaced
    • The no negotiation part is about setting expectations, and sticking to them. Also, make them live up to their own promises. Be wary of becoming friends.monospaced
    • They think everyone at work should be like a friend. It's weird.monospaced
    • let them be. they think know everything and will then fail and flake out and learn on their ownsince1979
