My personal view......
The Gen Y folks are the most pathetic lots. They did not go through what the generation or generations before them had gone through. Integrity, Hardworking, Sense of Responsibility, Urgency, and Honesty are the least thing on their mind.
You can't simply trust them with your expectation. Where some meet your expectations, you should consider it as a bonus.
Some of these folks learned something, gather meagre knowledge, and resign to assume higher responsibility from another company. For the first few months, they were ok but the true color shows on the 3rd or 4th month. By the 6th month, they are usually looking around again. Some fortunate ones, they stayed slightly longer where they have suckers backing them up.
I have seen these similar scenes repeating itself at my clients' place. Some even show prospective employer works that are copied/done by their colleagues from the previous company and pass off as theirs.
To be the devil's advocate, I encourage my business associates to give these prospective employees a 15 minutes task to accomplish. Sadly, only 1 or 2 are able to accept the challenge.

was thinking about the recent article that suggested Gen Y folks aren't exactly loyal to their companies, and see job switching as a norm.
upon some reflection, i thought it could be partly due to the fact that there was so sense of grounding, which could be related to the fact that students do not get a fixed group of mentors guiding them when they were in their formative years.
just how many folks have gone thru' the local education system without the change of teachers and mentors?it's just another cascading effect... seen changes too many a times to start feeling it as a norm...
secondly, when the company doesn't invest to train up and retain the students, you'd thought the student would linger around? got to pay competitive rates for the students to feel committed, or give the students ownership, for the very least.
thirdly, do the Gen Y folks truly enjoy what they are doing? seems to me the interests for any particular subject tend to wane very quickly... any bros like to throw some light on this matter per se?
