Oh, there is no doubt that corporate America is ****ed up. Believe me, I work in it too. I have two degrees and a ton of student loan debt to pay off myself. But this generation's entitlement is insane. I can't tell you how many times I've heard complaints about people as young as myself, fresh out of college, entering the workforce and instantly complaining about an entry level position and the fact that they weren't instantaneously promoted to a higher level management position without putting in any work to get there first. In my experience, these are mostly kids that never had to work a real job through college and got by on mommy and daddy. This is also the only generation in which everyone believes that they should be a winner. I made a passing joke about 6th place ribbons for fat kids earlier in the thread but the fact of the matter is that every team now gets trophies in youth soccer, football, hockey, baseball, basketball, etc. leagues. It was happening when I was a kid too. Without getting too political, American society more and more is trying to instill in kids from a young age that everyone wins. Sorry, that's just not the case. The quicker one realizes that, the quicker they'll be able to adapt once they finally hit the real world.
This is the first generation that doesn't like to have a conversation in real life at the dinner table or at the restaurant anymore. Everyone is so plugged into their god damn phones on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. that very rarely do people get to have actual, real life conversations anymore. That's why I love my girlfriend. I didn't have to tell her to put the damn phone down. She just did it because, somehow, someway, she finds me more interesting. But, then again, she does the same with her friends too. Technology at the touch of your fingertips is nice in a lot of ways but it's also giving birth to a generation of morons... just as Einstein predicted.
Finally, the WWII era survived a Great Depression, put measures in place to prevent depressions in the future, worked hard, rid the world of tyranny, and were a big reason for the advancement of different races including African Americans while their ****head children experimented with acid, went to music festivals, and eventually gave birth to the most useless generation of imbeciles the world has seen yet - mine. I'd say that, in all, the list of accomplishments by the "greatest generation" outweighs my generation's by a good amount... even taking into account that possessions and wealth were easier to obtain. But who knows? Maybe one day this (thus far) useless-as-tits-on-a-bull generation will cure cancer. THEN we'll all have something to brag about.
