  Play the audio file.
  
  The bit about email is very true.
  
  However, the part about loyalty to your work , etc. vs loyalty to a company is old news. As far back as 1998, 20-somethings were telling me that they thought of themselves as contractors rather than employees.

  I find the comments a bit far fetched, especially in the loyalty to work, in younger people (maybe young should be defined), the part about going beyond their job everyday....what is this? I found the comment about e-mail too true, advice (never) send a put-down e-mail about yourself...good! Back to loyalty, hard to achieve when some jobs are marching overseas because of loyalty to the bottom-line, in this the working "middle-class" is seeing their income go down, and when America's middle-class no longer can purchase (move the dollar) then we all suffer.

  RE: Useful Commute: The New Rules for Success

  The ONLY special thing young people offer is the ability to live on a cheaper wage and no expectation of longevity. The assertion that today's young people have been raised on over-scheduling might be true; but that they have been raised to deliver excellence is a load of hooey. Over half of today's college students, in all majors, admit to cheating. Penelope's friends may well be all that and a bag of chips, but to say young people bring more to the corporate table than us geezers? That boat won't float. Character counts. So does experience. Unfortunately, a lot of good people are going to be irreparably hurt before most companies figure out what an asinine thing they have done to swap maturity for cheap labor.
