To summarize: Hey kid. You're not as good as you think.  There are rules and you better follow them or they will find someone who will.

I think it is funny how that nugget of wisdom comes from Dice.com, the job website that seems to be 99 percent fake postings by borkers.

I remember reading a Nintendo trade magazine in their break room and you'd think that Gen Y was the second coming based on the lavish compliments slathered on them... and that Gen X is a bunch of cynical damaged people expecting to be screwed over at every turn. 

The author seemed to advocate laying off or curtailing the employment of Generation X since they expect no less.

I almost wrote and mailed a rebuttal to this hack but realized the readership was probably in the hundreds.

The only authorative subject I can see dice imparting is how to collect fees, dodge any liability for fake advertisements, and inflate the number of "jobs" on their site.  But in their favor, at least they finally got a "troll rating" system with some limited fields for obvious crap jobs.  Heh, they've outsourced the q.c. to the job candidates (or competing borks) themselves rather than cast a critical eye on someone about to hand them money.

Fake jobs? I'm shocked. SHOCKED! That this was going on...

PS.  I've said it before but the some of the young people I've met (below 30) seem really cocky and mean.  I suspect the absence of immediate feedback (punch in the face) on internet electronic/ communication only reinforces that behavior.
(Edit: spelling. Additional point).
