Millennials Unhappy at Work
An interesting phenomenon has developed in the generation born between the late '70s and the mid-'90s, a group we now call Millennials. According to the Gallup Organization, Millennials are the least engaged generation at work--with only 28.9 percent of U.S. Millennials engaged in their jobs. That means 71 percent are not.

For some reason, Millennials are unhappy in their jobs, and for our organizations to prosper now and in the future, we need to do something about it--and soon.

Millennials live seemingly perfect lives, emphasized by the highlight reels of every post on Facebook, every photo on Instagram, every short video on Snapchat. Yet, as more and more people boast their constant happiness, the increasing cases of anxiety and clinical depression show something totally different.

Dozens of Georgetown University students gathered Tuesday on the steps of McDonough Hall to protest an address from Attorney General Jeff Sessions that lambasted schools for infringing on students’ free-speech rights.

The students were joined by faculty members who initially took a knee and later linked arms.

They took turns speaking into a bullhorn, decrying Sessions, the process the university used to bring him to campus and posing questions they would have asked the attorney general had they been allowed into the event.
