I remember hearing something about that. It seems that the first of the
generation of children who grew up where everybody got a trophy, nobody
ever loses, and everybody's special have now reached adult age and are
entering the job market. Not only do they have no idea of how to handle
it when the real world steps up and kicks them in the butt, but they
don't think it should be necessary for them to actually DO their jobs to
get paid. They think all they need to do is show up. It's become so bad
that some companies have started giving their supervisors training in
how to get these coddled youngsters actually WORKING.

You're right, it's ruining the country. If we are to truly succeed, the
possibility of failure has to be there, too. Take away failure, and any
success is meaningless.

But at least our self-esteem will be intact.

report where a ceo was talking about experiences he and his peers had..
