The key point of this article is that Gen Y'ers are actually demanding and getting a lot of perks, instead of just complaining about bad working conditions.
This sounds about right in my experience. I've seen some places where the expectation is that seniority = respect, and that younger employees have to go through a few years of "paying their dues." This is stupid and wasteful, so of course we're demanding more. If someone is producing 10x the value of their coworkers, they shouldn't have to wait two years for a promotion just because they joined recently. And nowadays, they won't.
