The way the article is describing millennials is from someone who has an outsiders view and a poor understanding. The things millennials do are not because millennials have wildly different values, they're because the world changed. Everyone in business learned giving pensions, training people and retaining people doesn't pay off. The post-ww2 bubble of prosperity has let out its air. That environment no longer exists. At this point you've got to have a good reason to commit to working in a dwindling market, for example being ordered to in the military.
The only thing mainframe shops have to learn from Facebook et al is how to do large scale services without mainframes and cobol etc. They've already got the "let's overstate our talent pool problems because we want cheaper workers" part figured out, it seems.
