“The workers are kept in the dark about what is said about the company externally and how they get clients in. We don’t know if they are over-promising our capabilities and capacity for work. I don’t think my company even

realizes that transparency is even changing.” - Millennial, b. 1990

They are very stuck in their ways and promote individuals who want to keep it slow. New, young workers come in with fresh ideas and perspectives, but the older folks just keep it the “way that it is”

and resist trying new things.

deal with culture?
