Comment on Myth: Millennials have no sense of company loyalty

Comments

Treating Millennials with respect and professional kindness will endear them to stay by your side and be less likely to jump ship at the drop of a dime.

How is this specific to any generation? Is the implication that there is a case where it is okay not to treat people with professional kindness and respect? I don't know who coined the phrase "people quit managers, not companies" but it has been around for quite some time.

My brother-in-law quit his last place due to unethical (and a few illegal) practices and general bad work environment. He has had to keep it from his parents since his father is a big 'no matter what, you stay with your company FOR LIFE'. He can't understand that there are companies that will not last a lifetime, not provide retirement or even non functioning work environment.
