Always have and it's how I got where I am and will be where I am going. If I ask you to do something you don't see me do often, I've probably spent hundreds of hours doing what I'm asking you to do.
Millennial are very techipnically talented and have much to offer.....but they tend to think that 3 months is really putting in their dues. They seek immediate reward, want credit and no tolerance for constructive criticism.
It's taken a lot of effort to figure out how to communicate effectively. Basically just give the young folks credit for everyting we accomplish, especially publically.

This is about where I am, but I haven't hired many melenials. Hell, I may even be part of the generation (IDK, I'm 33), but at this point, if you can't help me get the work done to ultimately get the grain in the bin, get the **** out. Now. I know it's not a good approach to take, but it's where I find myself virtually every day, and it is difficult for me to keep my tongue bit.
I've often considered machining up, hiring the harvest and doing it all myself, but haven't forked out the cash to do it.
