In an article in thetrucker.com about a mechanic (technician) shortage the following was said "Sometimes we'll ask these kids to do a job, and they'll do it different than we do it. Then we think it's wrong and we call them idiots or say, "I can't believe you graduated from this school" or whatever, and so a lot of them quit. Older generations like to complain that millennials are too sensitive, they feel entitled, they're lazy. But "we created them," Arrants said, "We've been giving them trophies for coming in last place since they were 6 years old when we should have been saying 'pick another sport'. But if you take this generation at face value and work with them, and you might be pleasantly surprised". This is true for every industry facing a shortage. You the managers & supervisors created them, now you have to figure out how to work with, train and retain them. #mechanic #technician #greasemonkey #skilledtrades #skilledtrade #bluecollar #shortage #train #training #retention #millenials #industry #trucking #repairs #thetrucker.com
