Yup, and am I ever glad I don't work with millenials.

They are so insufferable. Working to make the company their life's ambition.

They're the type that often send all kinds of nonsense emails after-hours or
want to start "social clubs" in the office for more after-hours nonsense or
think its soooooo awesome that the company rewards its workers with a
foosball table... as opposed to real rewards, like a Christmas bonus.

They truly believe in making "friends" with the people they work with, then
act so surprised when that coworker up and quits, or backstabs them, or steps
over them for a promotion, or takes credit for some stupid project.

They come in every monday yacking about the evils of American capitalism but
yack about how cool the latest Iphone is while on their way to Starbucks while
getting ready to tweet about whatever was streaming on Netflix last night.

They also support such bright ideas as morning exercise/yoga for all staff 
prior to work. So you get a workout, and smell like the Netherlands.

Totally insufferable.

Mac's and Chromebooks actually.

Its just such a mess. I *swear* the first iteration of Windows 11 prompted to 
"Insert the driver disk into the disk drive."

Pretty sure they quietly patched that to just "Specify the location of the
drivers".
