In Connecticut, no less?  I thot they didn't have freedom any more.
A Connecticut-based marketing company has created a “snowflake” test to weed out entitled liberal Millennials.
The Silent Partner Marketing company has come up with a unique way to vet potential employees. The firm developed a survey for applicants asking a number of questions about themselves. Questions include “What does America mean to you?” and “How do you feel about guns?”  
Following the media interest, Reyes said, many other companies have approached him, offering “significant” amounts of money to design a similar test for them. |

My company employs a lot of local college kids. Snowflakes are absolutely real and they're a giant pain in the ass for everyone. Not all college kids are snowflakes though. Some of them are good people. |

Good for them.
I got to listen to a talk by the person in charge of the Army's MRT program a few years ago. He stayed that the program mainly came from business as companies we're tired of recent college graduates shutting down on them after receiving criticism for the first time. |

Between the 'Greatest Generation' that was a major contributing factor to how fucked up stuff is now, to your Generation LSD that raised the millenials; I don't think anything ever changes.
Your generation is running the indoctrination camp-uses. They're the liberal retard super snowflake professors. Like the lady professor looking for some 'muscle' to help eject some media guys from an occupy rally or whatever it was. |

Quoted:
My children have work ethic, many marketable skills, and common sense. They're like sharks in a guppy tank laughing at the snowflakes. |

That is some very interesting stuff. Here is a separate data point that folks here might find interesting. Millennials tend to crave constant stroking and praise from their supervisor so they feel good about the job they are doing. My generation, Gen X (roughly 37-52), tends to believe that "if my employer hasn't fired me, I'm doing a good job," and thus aren't in need of that praise. Nor does Gen X generously dole out that praise and stroking. Guess who are the primary supervisors of Millennials right now? No wonder Gen X and Millennials cannot stand each other. |

Sorry man, after having dealt with Millennials for several years in multiple capacities, no way would I hire somebody currently between the ages of 18 and 36 for any goddamn thing. Yeah, I might miss out on some of the good people, but I'll also avoid a shit-ton of workplace drama & bullshit. 
Tail end of Generation X here buckaroo. Don't lump me in with Snowflake Millennials. |

see, I knew that if I tried to put an age on it, somebody would get butthurt.  I'm Gen X too, right in the middle at age 45.

Good for him.
His company, his rules, and I can fully understand why he would want to avoid having people who are incompatible with his team come working for him. Saves him a lot of grief and saves the snowflake a lot of grief. That's what applications and interviews are for. |

Quoted:
I consider myself to be a conservative/small-"l" libertarian. I just hired a millennial. He works his ass off. And, he is so conservative, he makes me look like Bernie Sanders. They are out there. If I could clone him, I could retire in a year. |

It's the thing nobody wants to deal with and really can't talk about.
Too often, the millenials are bringing their social justice baggage into the workplace and disrupting the whole place. It becomes all about them and their ridiculous cause du jour. Production goes down, cooperation goes to shit and turnover increases. I believe that the workforce is ripe for young people with clear heads and those that are squared away. They are the ones that will rocket to the top unimpeded, leaving the SJW's behind. |

We discount right off the bat anyone that has mom
A. Pick up/fill out the application B. Call and ask questions about the job C. Arrange the interview D. Brings Jr to the interview/tries to sit in on interview. Or wants to be "conferenced in" via speakerphone to the interview. As far as A. goes we have had parents pick up applications before as a convenience thing, but when they start filling it out right there in the lobby......then start with the super assertive (usually Mom) "when can He start?" BS ...... 
I had a Mom call 6-7 times one day with questions about the Co. and what the work was like and try to arrange to come out to a jobsite to see what working conditions would be like for her snowflake. She could not seem to grasp that No I was not going to approach the general contractor on a commercial site with a visitor request for a potential employee's mom to come see....go away. |

Some of them are good people. We have a regular rotation of engineering students through our facility. 90% of them are not snowflakes at all and are really good highly motivated students. We had one that was a snowflake and he only lasted one rotation instead of three. |

I'd be embarrassed as hell if my mom was tagging along for an interview/asking around at a place of potential employment.
I guess that's probably why I'll have M.D. behind my name shortly after turning 25 instead of some degree in lesbian art studies bitching about not having a job. |

I have a 28 yr old douchebag millennial that I work with.
I ripped him a new ass 6 ways to Sunday on about 6 things he fucked up. I did this is a somewhat stern yet diplomatic way. I got in return "......that was a bit harsh...." My reply, "that was tame, keep pissing of my customers, you will need your safe space". no more emails after that
of course, 2 days later, MY boss calls me, laughing..... " try not to be so brutally honest". I have not gotten to that point yet.....he laughed more. |
