Now, college courses to teach millenials how to act on the job

The best and brightest don't need these classes

Would you rather they learn how to act in an office environment or learn something completely useless like gender studies? This at least gives them somewhat of a chance in the real world

Yeah, I know plenty of older people who could take these classes too.

Why should you be thanked for an interview? That's retarded.

Among the subjects Faine covers are: dining etiquette, proper dress and behavior in the workplace, and how to answer a phone properly or handle difficult people.

"All of that plays a role in the morale of the company," she says.



These are supposed to be our best and brightest, mind you.

The best business schools have been teaching these things for several decades. So go crawl back into your hole gramps.

Are you suggesting that social behavior classes are new?

"Now, insecure old people bitch about anything."

Huge failure on the parents' part. These skills should have been instilled at home.

This should be a required one hour course in all high schools across America. Maybe even college. My law firm actually had to have classes for the firm because a few partners were so clueless they were embarrassing the firm. And these were middle aged men.

I told my Alma Mater's new principal a year ago that they needed a real world class that taught juniors and seniors how to deal with every day life after school. A class that went over how to create and stick to a budget, work etiquette like this college class, the upside and downside to social media and how it can help and hurt you, basic cooking and cleaning and general home maintenance. Things everyone should know how to do but for some reason don't anymore.

I even chewed his arse out about a simple thing that came up a few months later. I did some volunteer work there and got a few materials donated because of my previous working relationship with the companies. I talked to them weeks later and asked if they received any type of thank you note or any acknowledgement from the school and both told me that they haven't heard a work from them. I went to the school and confronted the principal and told him that he was supposed to teach kids to be an adult and they couldn't even put together a simple thank you letter for companies donating a few hundred in materials. His only reply was "Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. I will get the secretary to put something together on Monday" Of course, they never did it.

Technology does that to a generation.
