Employers have negative view of Gen Y workers

Many employers prize Gen Y workers for their perceived facility with technology and social media. But 47 per cent of the bosses surveyed said millennials have a poor work ethic, 46 per cent said they’re easily distracted, and 51 per cent said they have unrealistic compensation expectations, according to the study by research firm Millennial Branding and financial giant American Express.

Gen Y workers have a big desire for mentoring, according to the study, but only 33 per cent of those polled said their bosses were willing to do so.
