We recently had a new young coworker who was extremely slow and would show up only when he felt like it. He was even honest about it. Sometimes late, sometimes not at all. Since they needed 20 people and cant find any they just put up with it for a few weeks.
People complaint but I argued he was the best employee we had thus far. "If we can find just a few of these guys I too can stay home whenever I feel like it! We just need 3 or 4 of these guys to do what use to be a one man job. Then it will actually get done in stead of you guys wasting precious time talking about how bad he is, wanting him gone. Gone where? To sit at home and live of our tax money? Well, I for one love paying for it. He should sit at home until you guys wake up to the new reality!
Those unmotivated milenimals apparently are the answer. Waving a moldy dried out carrot in front of their nose has no effect.
Its not a real solution of course... at least I think not? Not sure really. But things will change regardless. It might not be pretty, it will at least be interesting times.
