I was
working with two clients: a man and his granddaughter. I was rebuilding his
website and online store, while his granddaughter acted as a technology
translator and go between. The
grandfather had ranted to me numerous times that Millennials are
ruining everything because they’re so ungrateful, spoiled, rude, and demanding. His
granddaughter is a recently licensed chemical engineer and I’m rebuilding his
precious site. He seemed oblivious both she and I are Millennials.We had a meeting arranged for the
afternoon, but unfortunately I developed a cluster migraine around lunch. I
don’t know how much you know about those, but there is no carrying on when you have
one. I sent an email to both the grandfather and granddaughter explaining why I
had to cancel.I received two very different responses.
Granddaughter: It’s ok! Migraines run in my family,
too. We completely understand. Feel better soon!Grandfather: UNACCEPTABLE THIS IS COMPLETELY
UNPROFESSIONAL OF YOU TO CANCEL LIKE THIS I SHOULD FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO BUILD
MY SITE THIS IS SO TYPICAL OF A
MILLENNIAL I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING YOU’RE USELESS AND I DEMAND
A REFUND.Yes sir, the Millennials sure are the
rude and demanding ones.
