Jay Leno Monologue Analysis
If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: "Millennials lack commitment, but hire them anyway". It is often said that Millennials are not as committed to one employment in their lifetime.
Isn't that like failing to acknowledge the fact, that millennials are eager, capable of doing their work, as well as, very driven?
What ever happened to offering millennials excellent retirement package benefits that can increase employment longevity? I happen to sympathize with millennials, though, perhaps because millennials are not seen as serious

Higher expectations are born primarily from superiority, and as a result they do not work accustomed to their work, but work to adapt to their lives. The millennial generation wants to get praised from parents, teachers, and their coaches.…

    Millennials have come into a negative light in the eyes of many being blamed for problems in the world today. In Joel Stein’s article entitled The New Greatest Generation he believes they will instead of causing problems bring solutions to them and I agree with him. The millennials are a generation possessing much more resources and technology than any other generation before them by a long shot. The technological advances made from the 1980s to the early 2000 have opened a world of possibilities that millennials will and are taking advantage of to get further in life.…

    Leno's early acts drew from his life experience: growing up in New Rochelle, New York, and Amherst, Massachusetts, attending Emerson College, and enjoying popular culture. His college education affected his act in an unusual way at his first stage booking. After learning about American Indian history, he refused to do a skit filled with stereotypes of American Indian culture. The writer changed the skit to suit Leno, therefore, he agreed to move forward with the show. Despite Leno’s initial success guarding others’ dignity while on the job, his own career success required more trial and error. He spent about 15 years working his way around the comedy club scene, sleeping on friends’ sofas, and often performing for no…

    That only credible information for millennials are quotes given by well­ respected academics. According to Gary Stiteler, an Army recruiter interviewed by Joel Stein, “The generation that we enlisted when I first started recruiting was sort of do, do, do. This generation is think, think about before you do it” he says. “This generation is three to four steps ahead” (qtd. in Stein 32). After reviewing the article, one can easily realize the few examples of praising for the millennials. However, there is a surplus of praise for Generation X throughout the entire front page of the article that is front loaded with statistical data. Instead, Stein uses statistics as written, “58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009 than in 1982” (Stein 28). To inform the reader, that statement is used by Joel Stein from the National Institutes of Health. To clarify, Joel Stein is not feeding his audience any facts that praise the millennial generation for their hard work but only uses quotes from well­respected academics which gives his article an unbalance of factual data. Also, the millennial generation at its youngest age is only eighteen, so there is still plenty of room for…

It's not a place where you drop your children off on date night. I'm not a free babysitter. I am a grown man and I am getting tired of this. Therefore, I'm going to tell you all a story about me. One that I hope you tell your parents. Maybe then they'll stop dropping you off here and my future will have fewer interruptions. I rather be watching baseball god dammit.…

    Stein also mentions the fact that the younger generation spend most of their time on social media, and believes somehow that it is entitled to success without experiencing the outer world. Stein also mentions that this has not taken him by surprise, because this began with their parents’ generation, the Baby Boomers. Millennials are trying their best to make their own mark on the world as this generation presents higher levels of work ethic than any other in history. Millennials are known to be narcissistic, self-assured, and lazy generation but they are surely known to be the only generation who will transform the world in many astonishing…

    When I was younger I had a very vibrant dream in the back of my mind. My family has never been the rich family, and I have never gotten everything I wanted. I had this dream, that I would be the one to save my family from poverty. I’d get famous, have tons of money, and bring my family to live in my mansion. Most of my time was spent thinking about that single dream that I had for years.…

    This is because, “We were brought up to reach for the stars” and enter our jobs with “higher expectations that any other generation” (Bramlett 473, Dwyer 473). Because of this, companies need to be prepared for not only our helicopter parents trying to get involved with our work lives but also all the complications that comes with us millennials. According to Bramlett, “we do not easily recognize the idea of starting from the bottom so we are quick to get disappointed when our expectations of our jobs are not met the way we think they should be” (Bramlett 473). While I do agree that we millennials have been hindered in several ways because of our helicopter parents and technology, I also believe we have a lot to offer. For example, we are great muli-taskers, loyal, and so in tune with technology that any complication we may encounter can be easily…

    Continuance commitment means that the perceived economic value of remaining with an organization compared with leaving it. The generational differences regarding continuance commitment may include as follows. Firstly, the Generation Y are better connected socially, are impatient for career success and have a higher tendency for job, which can be known from the case. The Generation Y may focus more on the challenges and the future they can have to satisfy themselves, as a result, it may be a tough job to keep continuance commitment of holding the position for a long period. On the other hand, other generations under the impact of the former culture and rules, some kind of ideas are rooted in their minds. Those people might consider the continuance commitment as loyalty to the company or the one who provided the job to them. The subconscious will tell other generations to persist in helping the company survive when being involved in trouble. In contrary, the Generation Y think more about the factors or benefits related to their own convenience instead of ting the organization together.…
