I completely agree. It's only "entitlement" if you think your employer owes you a job on your terms. It's hardly entitlement if you are simply willing to shop around for a better deal. Yes, I want a job where I am treated more like a colleague than a subordinate, where I have access to upper management to express my ideas, where I have flexibility in how and where I work, and where I have wide autonomy over my projects. Yep, I'd also like the work to be meaningful. But do I think my employer owes me this? Nope. I fully accept that absolutely nobody owes me this arrangement. But if one company does offer it, and another doesn't, well duh! It seems to me that the feelings of entitlement here are coming from the managers and corporations employing the Millennials. They seem to think that they "should" get talented employees who are just gushing for an opportunity to accept an unpleasant hierarchical environment with set hours, scheduled breaks and lunchtimes, a lame-o cubicle, limited personal autonomy, and a long, slogging climb up the ladder. In short - all the patronizing crap without the job security and pensions that used to come along with it. A patronizing environment, but certainly no patron saint to go along with it. Nobody owes me anything. Ok, I said it first. Now let's hear them say it.
