You know you have a good employee when she stays late on Friday evening for a truck to arrive that has perishable items. I write "sorry you had to stay late (and especially on a Friday)" and she responds "it's okay, it had to get done" - that's a keeper employee!!

There's some great ones out there!

The current generation is filled with a bunch of social justice warriors, victim mentality, that never want to take accountability for anything

Agreed. But, as with any generation, group, etc. there are some really great ones and keepers. And I found one! She'll go far. Never lump everyone into a single group and singular characteristics!

How are you going to show her how much you appreciate her?

Paid day off?
Bonus?
Gift card some place?

Small potatoes. Yes, all on the table but all are short term appreciation. Better to groom for a better position and help her find it if I don't have available in my company at the time.

Yes…. "appreciation" and "groom" for a better "position" all words I have used before for girl employees who stayed late for some extra work.

Make sure to load her up with ore works while you don't hold lower performing employees accountable. Also, give her a meager bonus.

Life is tough. It is even harder when you have to pick up the slack for other people. She needs to learn

I'm kind of in the same boat. The kids coming out of high school these days (not all) seem to have more snap and have their expectations based more in reality. Refreshing change from the last 10 years. Right now, if you are 25-40... I have very low expectations.

100% this. She needs to learn to carry the load.
