[AusNOG] Work experience in networking/telecoms/DCs? Getting my foot in the door?

[Russell Brenner]

As a Gen Y who works with Gen Ys and deals with Gen Y customers, working with technology developed by Gen Ys, I find that comment rather short sighted.

You sound like Grandpa Simpson, wearing an onion on his belt because it was the style at the time.

Generalisations are just that... generalisations.

And why are they that? because they are overwhelmingly true.

To be frank... GenY drive me nuts.. they expect everything, money, flexibility, benefits and do bugger all for it and don't deserve it.  But, if you can overcome that by being genuinely willing to work hard and know what you are looking for and don't expect to be on 60k after 6 months - you might just find some opportunities.

I don't know why you think tarring a whole generation with the same brush is any more acceptable than it would be if it were a race or gender.
