Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.
Apparently it's a generational term. I had originally taken it to mean those born around the millenium who are now starting to "come of age", but according to the BBC it's the generation that comes after Generation X, i.e between 1980 and 2000, which of course is total horseshit, that's generation Y.
The issue I have with the term is it's generally used in a negative sense to malign an entire generation, and fits within the american obsession with pigeon holing everyone into an easily labelled group.
Was a filing clerk at Ford's Dagenham for a while in the 70's, and the 'motivational' poster in the office showed a gunslinger with the slogan 'Big Shots Go For Quality'.
I mean there's nothing wrong with motivating people, but this might have been a relic from 1950's America it was so cheesy.
I'd wager the person they gave the job to either a) took it on for less, or b) they hired a "yes" man that they can push into doing what they want, and were concerned that you were experienced enough to know when to tell them to politely "f*** off".
At least, that's my experience of recruitment strategies.

Same experience. They'll take someone on for less, spend 2-3 years training them up, then go through the same process when that person leaves for a better paid job. It's the same everywhere.
The fat b*stard at work who has taken a paid week off work because his 'specialist' chair broke and he is too fat to sit in any of the others. For health and safety reasons they wouldn't let him come to work. ****ing joke of a ****hole I work in!

I hope they're telling him to lose some weight on his week off
