Sadly, Dilbert's writer (scott adams) has gone far off the rails in terms of facts and logic with his own personal twitter account.
A man named Crazy Tasty in charge of rehabilitating a dozen younger workers in his field. Irony?I have to disagree, while I will say it's not 100% true in all cases... I have a group of 12 post grad biomedical engineers in my work area. They do everything possible to avoid working and worse make no attempt to even appear like they are working.
<snipped examples>
They are all here for remediation and hopefully not the future of our engineering group, because that scares the living **** out of me.
Today's survey question: Do you feel guilty checking HFboards while at work?That sounds like most of the staff I worked with at the large, multinational house of blood money I worked at for 15 years. And none of them were close to being "Millennial". Somewhere I have an internal conversation that is now close to 20 years old that was a day spend coming up with Pabst slogans.
It also sounds strikingly like the place I worked before that, where people took multiple smoke breaks after their coffee breaks so that they could then go talk on the phone.
Or my father's conversations about the guys who would punch in at their job, then take a coffee break to go punch in at another job, then come back so they could sling a hammock in a broom closet and get paid by both ConRail and Bethlehem Steel for sleeping.
****ty people doing ****ty things. It transcends generations.
I'll concede that point, however in this place that I've worked for the last 9 years, that wasn't the case. Our headcount was too lean to be able to be lazy. We had our moments for sure, but waaaay more productive then compared to now.
meh, not that long ago I searched Google for 'colleges with cheapest or lowest tuition' and discovered long lists of good schools all over the country with tuition of 5-6K. if somebody young can't earn 5K from May to September they just aren't trying. 'more pressure in general' LOL
how old are you? try interest rates of 18%.
higher costs of living? more BS - big screen TV's for 200 dollars, clothing has never been cheaper, computers for 300 dollars, food is cheaper than at any point in history, used cars in great condition are plentiful - housing prices have risen over time but in WNY rent/mortgage is reasonable.
You know that's not what he's saying. A cost/benefit and payback/cashflow analysisAh right. The college debt crisis doesn't exist because you googled for some good schools.
[approval]Grunt Grunt [/approval]This talk about one generation pooing on the next is just small potatoes anyway. If you really want to talk about generational gaps, look at how ancient man had to live vs people from the last 100 years.
-Ancient man had to kill his meal first with weapons carved from wood/stone, modern man has to push a heavy shopping cart on a tile floor, and uses a pocket knife to cut open the food packaging on occasion.
-Ancient man fought off bacterial disease from unclean meat/water when he was lucky enough to find it, modern man gets the sniffles and a tummy ache from eating too much.
-Ancient man had to protect land/tribe or settle disputes through hard battle, modern man has a lawyer sign binding litigation settlements for him.
-Ancient man fought against weather and natural predators (even dinosaurs...I saw it on 'The Flintstones'), while modern man turns up his thermostat and calls an exterminator.
-Ancient man built stuff with his bare hands, modern man turns on the assembly line power or the 3D printer.
-Ancient man sent messages to far away tribes by walking there and telling them in person, modern man sends a text in between watching a stupid video and taking a selfie.
I think ancient man kicks modern man's tail, even if their music was a bunch of guttural, off-key moaning.

Yeah.. he only correctly predicted the election, unlike half the idiots on TwitterSadly, Dilbert's writer (scott adams) has gone far off the rails in terms of facts and logic with his own personal twitter account.

. I'm not in charge of them, in fact they appear to have little to no management, which likely doesn't help. But, from the conversations that I hear, 8 out of the 9 hours I am here a day, they don't really need management because they seem to know everything about all that has been or will be.
That's a pretty low bar to set. The guy is bat shit crazy and it's not because of his political views.Yeah.. he only correctly predicted the election, unlike half the idiots on Twitter
There have been 482 Buffalo Sabres. Let's list all possible Justins, then we'll narrow it down by the Bowman era.Trivia:
Walked by a guy who said his first name was Justin. He allegedly played for the Sabres under bowman, came from Detroit, any ideas?

Very impressive breakdown. I too found that the only Justin’s currently played for the team, and so brought it here
Slightly different angle.
How old was he? Anyone who played for Buffalo under Bowman would be anywhere from their late 50's on up, and Justin isn't a common name for men of those generations.
Bowman's only trade with Detroit which brought players back included Dale McCourt, Brent Petersen, & Mike Foligno (& sent Schoenfeld, Gare, Derek Smith). (He separately sent Bob Sauve and Ric Seiling to Detroit - Scotty really changed the 1980s Sabres, and not really for the better.)
You'd recognize Foligno - he's been shown on Sabres broadcasts in the stands, still looks like he did, and his nose hasn't been straight for almost 40 years.
Don Luce is the only other former Red Wing I'm aware of who played for Bowman. Luce is probably nearly 70 now.

Are there any other challengers? U2?
