It's time to let the Millennials grow up

Abstract

A 40ish friend and former colleague wrote on her Facebook page recently, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Millennials are people born between 1981 and 1996, generally speaking. So, when you are complaining about ‘the kids of today,’ leave us out of it. We are using skin care with retinol and have back pain.” I literally laughed out loud when I read it. I’m guilty as charged of treating Millennials as kids, e.g., my stepson and nephew who are also pushing 40.
