I've just skimmed through some of the posts on this thread and I must say I agree with the comments about individuals who don't follow the instructions.

 

I do not agree with the assumption that youngsters are rude, lazy, know-it-alls who think the world owes them a living. YES some of them do, but so do a lot of older people (just look through the door at the local bookies during (what should be) working hours or the DSS office.

 

There are good and bad of all ages.

 

I employ 3 guys - all in their early 20s and not one has ever been late for work, none of them swear on site, they are always polite to customers (regardless of provocation) and they all work extremely hard and abide by the safety guidelines we have. They will listen to advice and are always keen to learn more.

 

They can be left alone to do the job and I always get great feedback from my customers. There is always room for improvement, I know, and they always check that the customer is happy with how things are going, at the start, during and after, the job.

 

Yes, they are young, they wear hoodies,they go to the pub some evenings and sometimes they drive above the speed limit - but they portray a really professional image for my company and I'm proud of them. They should not be tarred with the same brush as the scum depicted on the 'reality' cops TV programs.

 

Not all youngsters are the same, not all ######## are the same (fill in with whatever you want).

 

I'm 56 and I wouldn't want to swap anyone in my team.

Well said Shane,

 

I set on two young lads last year and can honestly say i can't fault them.

They are willing to learn and have achieved all that is asked of them and at the end of the day they are the future in this industry. You will always get the cocky individual who thinks they know it all.

There is some reasons, that some youngsters don't have manners, becuase yeah some don't get taught them, but others like me that was brought up properly, and taught manners, and get tarred with the same old brush, don't say it's youngsters becuase it's not just us

I agree completely there are some of us who try hard to get the jobs and to keep them Etc.
