So there are articles saying "millennials" can't just smoothly blend into the corporate environment (and are a problem for corporate recruiters) - because they've been coddled and want to do "their own thing" - and there are articles saying "millennials" can only blend into the corporate environment (and are great for corporate recruiters) because they've been "coddled".

All of these articles appear in magazines of similar bent like WSJ and Forbes.

Logically, they're saying

"Millennial" implies "Coddled" ;

"Coddled" AND "in corporate hierarchy" implies "can't succeed" ;

"Coddled" AND NOT "in corporate hierarchy" implies "can't succeed" ;

So either they're (WSJ, Forbes) claiming A) millennials MUST fail in any environment (whether corporate or not) or B) these people (writers for WSJ, Forbes) are being emotional and not logically consistent.

If A is true they need to have statistics that all things being equal millennials (and I assume those possesing a BA/BS degree from a university and coming from a middle class background, i.e. "coddled" ones) are more likely to be unemployed (while not being enrolled in education or training) than their peers from other generation. I don't seem to find this to be true...
