I'm going to echo what some others have said. Each upcoming generation has been criticized by older generations. I some times say it started in cave man days. I don't believe every person in each generation is the same. It's as prejudicial as saying all members of a racial group are the same.
Does anyone know if what he said about dopamine and electronic devices is correct? It would explain a lot about the apparent obsession some folks, not just millennials, have with their electronics.
Like Lolagrace said, I work with millennials, either as co-workers or clients. In the case of my co-workers the stereotypes do not fit. In the case of the adolescents I work with, yeah some of what he says applies to some of them, but not all of them.
I disagree that it is the employer's responsibility to "fix" problems of employees, what ever generation they belong to.
