Millennial ‘divas’ too spoiled for corporate world, study suggests

The Washington Times reports:
Many corporate executives are making no effort to attract workers under age 35, because millennials have developed a reputation for being workplace divas, a new survey suggests.

A survey conducted by Duke University and CFO Magazine found that millennials are thought to need more management in the workplace and are more likely to quit their jobs arbitrarily, despite making less money than previous generations and facing higher unemployment, CBS News reported.

There's more:
more than half of CFOs said millennials are lacking in company loyalty, and 46 percent said they have an inflated sense of entitlement. Thirty-one percent said millennials need more hand-holding, and 27 percent said millennials are more interested in the development of themselves rather than the development of the company, CBS News reported.

No word yet from Columbia University's mattress girl on this story.
