    Trying not to show my age here as an old fuddy duddy but I'm noticing these 20-24 year olds are coming in with these attitudes, tendency to speak without a filter, will make dumb comments to senior leadership, and overall carry themselves as though they've been conditioned to speak like they do with the veil of anonymity when they're online.

    A bunch of my colleagues and friends have been noticing this. When I first started out I (and we) were all about grinding out the putting in dues stuff, doing anything we could to gain experience with great projects, constantly concerned that our work wasn't good enough and asked for repeated critique anywhere we could find it.

    Nowadays it seems these young ones are all about being hipster, ultra cool dbags and talk like they're 14 trying to pick up a chick online. The amount of "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuudes, and Yooooooos, and Ughhhhhh, I don't know" responses I hear from these rookies makes me want to grab my monitor and frisbee it into their little domes.

    Anyone else noticing this, I didn't notice this 10+ years ago and I certainly wasn't like this. An effen epidemic if you ask me.

    • This is the incoming workforce's M.O. - I plan on letting them fall on their own swords - fucking idiots.brandon_phillip
    • I'm noticing the younger designers are starting off their profiles with "I'm a 22 designer..." As if they were proud of they were you.qTime
    • sounds a lot like qbnutopian
    • I hate to say I've noticed this massively. Look to the staff of Sugar Ape and see the resemblance!ShaneHolley
