I have been a business manager in technology for the last 15 years. for the most part the people that have worked for me have been hard working people who want honest pay and to give their employer profit on what they do. They want value for value.

This is not statistically sound, not do I find all the new work force to be this way. In that 15 years I had to fire one person in the first 12 years. Of the new hires in my organization 3 years ago (5 that year) 2 were experienced staff, and 3 were directly out of college, of those I had to fire the three that were directly out of college; they had no work ethic and seemed to feel that it was enough to show up to work on time and leave on time. What was accomplished or not accomplished did not matter.

I have since adjusted my interview process with question both written and verbal to weed out people with a philosophy of entitlement and have not had to let anyone go since. It is amazing how many college graduates those questions have eliminated from my pool on the phone interview. It is an epidemic in that age group from what I have seen.
