People have been sending me this video about clip from a recent 60 minutes segment on millennials. It features a JWT executive. It’s quick. It’s good. You should check it out. If you are wondering about the picture of a fairy on this post, then you will want to read this story on valleywag about a millennial intern, his wand, facebook and a sick day. Danm Facebook! I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate my millennial cousin for all that he has been able to accomplish working in sales at a major, major, major technology company. He’s a hard working, over achieving, sales rep skilled in the arts of cold-calling and keg standing. He’s a true millennial.

Facebook, and other such networks, can be a blessing and a curse. There are quite a few stories currently floating around about incriminating photos and activities, some of which happened over 2 decades ago. Though I don’t think it was right of Colvin to shrug off work for a party, I have to give him credit for telling his manager he wouldn’t be able to work instead of just not showing up. But I also think it extremely improper that David and Colvin’s coworker did what they did. With the rise of social networks the areas between social and professional life is becoming muddier and there needs to be boundaries. I have to agree with an article from Focus Management, a food recruitment consultancy that “With everything being accessible, our lives are now under the microscope 24/7. According to the Times, a survey of 600 British companies revealed that one in five had logged on to Facebook and other networking websites to vet potential employees.” And as we’ve seen, many are using it to spy on employees and coworkers as well. Where is the line drawn?
