What does it take to get through to these young adults?

The last generation and a half, especially, has been given the message that copping an “F U” attitude is “cool” and acceptable. They were given that message that it’s OK, when they started with the crap at 15, 16, brought it to school, and never received a reprimand or correction (because the schools aren’t allowed to reprimand. Don’t want to damage their little ol’ self esteems, you know.)

Well, they graduate, go out into the cold,cruel REAL world carrying that attitude with them , start getting jobs…and start throwing the “F U b**ch. Don’t tell ME what to do!” (ESPECIALLY the girls) toward their co-workers. Or, even to their bosses, like, “You got a real attitude, you know that?! Talk to the hand!” Or..it’s just an unspoken turn on their heel or a rude ignoring….somehow they seem to think that’s OK because they didn’t actually SAY anything, just oozed disrespect and dislike out of their pores in a way that can’t be missed.

And…they lose job after job. And of course, it’s always the coworker’s fault. Or the bosses fault because they’re “B**ches and A holes….” (However, both boss and coworker still have said job.)

How do we get through to these people?? There is NO such thing as a perfect work environment! There will always be coworkers and bosses that will be hard to get along with, in ANY job! You just gotta deal with it, professionally.
