I just listened to a roundtable on CEO diversity, and they discussed millennials at length. They said that there's a leadership gap between the Baby Boomers and Generation X because Gen X isn't interested in corporate careers.
And there is a lot of talent in the millennial generation, and a lot of ambition, but that they are very different from any generation that came before them, and flexibility of work scheduling is one of the main differences. They don't want to have to spend 9 to 5 in a cubicle, they want the flexibility of making their own hours and working remotely. And the smart companies are making accommodations for them. That as long as they accomplish their assigned tasks the parameters of work hours shouldn't matter.
I think the millennials are going to change a lot about the way we work going forward, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.
The video in the OP touches on this in a humorous way, but it certainly appears to be a reality in this generation.
Lol... It's not even close to the truth. But, sure, it's funny.
Can't be a day at CityData without a stupid bash the millennials thread.
All that you need to do to understand the mindset of right wing types on city data is listen to Rush Limbaugh for 5 minutes some day. It's nauseating, but enlightening. You will realize how truly vapid most of these people are, all the while thinking they are better informed than everyone else.
Barely a sentence goes by on Limbaughs radio show that doesn't mention: Democrats, liberals, millenials, or snowflakes with a negative connotation.

They refuse to speak, talk on phone or ask questions.
Beyond maddening. One is on thin ice because of this. Intelligent and capable .. but refuses to admit might not know something or ask a basic question ... about anything. Sad. May be out of a job soon because of it. Has been told a number of times .... SPEAK. Nope.
