Treating Millennials with respect and professional kindness will endear them to stay by your side and be less likely to jump ship at the drop of a dime.

How is this specific to any generation? Is the implication that there is a case where it is okay not to treat people with professional kindness and respect? I don't know who coined the phrase "people quit managers, not companies" but it has been around for quite some time.

My brother-in-law quit his last place due to unethical (and a few illegal) practices and general bad work environment. He has had to keep it from his parents since his father is a big 'no matter what, you stay with your company FOR LIFE'. He can't understand that there are companies that will not last a lifetime, not provide retirement or even non functioning work environment.
