Since a lot of tech companies employ young talent (relative to other industries), this video by Simon Sinek on "Millennials in the Workplace" can be enlightening:

Forewarning, he goes off the deep end on a few points, but IMO the general ideas are valid.

I've seen this talk before, and he makes a ton of assertions mostly backed by often-repeated cliches rather than data (e.g. participation trophies). This is a really good talk I've seen posted in response to this very video before, so I'll post it again.

Sinek relies on a healthy heaping of anecdotes and unfounded assertions to shake his fist at an ill-defined generation just like _every previous generation has done since the dawn of time_. O tempora! O mores! indeed.
