Yup. People have been working 40/50/60 hour work weeks since WWII, right?
Since WWII we have infinitely increased productivity, efficiency, mobile office capabilities, etc.. and yet we still require 50 hour work weeks in a fricking office somewhere with max 2 weeks vacation for many professions that don't need that.
At some point we need to reshuffle how we handle the "standard work week". Either go to 3 day weekends, or allow more flexibility in hours. This is one of the things I think the next generation is going to usher into the workplace. Social Media and the possibility of being available and able to work anywhere on the planet 24/7 is making 50 hrs a week in an office obsolete.
The old Boomers have this jaded business perception that unless you're sitting in your office at 8:30 at night neglecting your family with your sleeves rolled up smoking a cigarette you aren't working hard. It blows my mind when I meet guys like that.

There is no such thing as a "millennial". It's a made up term for lazy thinkers who overgeneralize and like it that way.
It's also useful for the motivational speaker circuit to have a theme they can sell for corporate trainings. It's bullshite, divisive, and counterproductive.
Just know that all people are different and that it takes a real simpleton to classify people by birth year. It's been done for centuries, but people like simple.
It would have been just as true to say your generation has altered the way it communicates and the evidence is this post. But go ahead and kid yourself that it's those darn millenials.

I’m just glad I’m a gen Xer and not self absorbed like boomers or an emo gender bending pussy like milineals.

Lots of people don't develop social filters until post-adolescence.
One of my uncle's wives is nearly 60 and doesn't have a filter between brain and mouth.

Yep. And has led to the end of many marriages, too.

Like a series of status updates I didn't ask for.
Now, maybe they communicate different as far as they use social media to stay in touch more, but I've never heard them talk like you mention.
You're either lying or just work with dumbasses. Probably both.

Watch the Emoji Movie sometime which will answer this question for you and make you hang yourself.
