Millennials have a pretty nasty reputation in the workplace. And this whiny screed by millennial Talia Jane, who scored a job working for Yelp, proves why:

I left college, having majored in English literature, with a dream to work in media. It was either that or go to law school. Or become a teacher. But I didn’t want to become a cliche or drown in student loans, see. I also desperately needed to leave where I was living — I could get into the details of why, but to sum up: I wanted to die every single day of my life and it took me several years to realize it was because of the environment I was in. So, I picked the next best place: somewhere close to my dad, since we’ve never gotten to have much of a relationship and I like the weather up here. I found a job (I was hired the same day as my interview, in fact) and I put a bunch of debt on a shiny new credit card to afford the move.

Coming out of college without much more than freelancing and tutoring under my belt, I felt it was fair that I start out working in the customer support section of Yelp/Eat24 before I’d be qualified to transfer to media. Then, after I had moved and got firmly stuck in this apartment with this debt, I was told I’d have to work in support for an entire year before I would be able to move to a different department. A whole year answering calls and talking to customers just for the hope that someday I’d be able to make memes and twitter jokes about food. If you follow me on twitter, which you don’t, you’d know that these are things I already do. But that’s neither here nor there. Let’s get back to the situation at hand, shall we?

… Let’s talk about those benefits, though. They’re great. I’ve got vision, dental, the normal health insurance stuff — and as far as I can tell, I don’t have to pay for any of it! Except the copays. $20 to see a doctor or get an eye exam or see a therapist or get medication. Twenty bucks each is pretty neat, if spending twenty dollars didn’t determine whether or not you could afford to get to work the next week.

… How about this: instead of telling you about all the ways I’m withering away from putting my all into a company that doesn’t have my back, I offer some solutions. I emailed Mike, Eat24’s CEO, about a few ideas to give back to our community for the holidays. He, along with someone named Patty, politely turned them down. But maybe you could repurpose them?

… Originally, I suggested that Eat24 offer a matching donation with customers where they can choose a donation amount during checkout and Eat24/Yelp would match it and donate those profits to a national food program. Maybe instead, you can let customers choose a donation amount during checkout and divide those proceeds among your employees who spend more than 60% of their income on rent? The ideal percent is 30%. As I said, I spend 80%. What do you spend 80% of your income on? I hear your net worth is somewhere between $111 million and $222 million. That’s a whole lotta rice.

Originally, I suggested that Eat24 offer special coupon codes where half of the code’s value ($1) goes to charity. Maybe instead, you can give half the code’s value ($1) to helping employees who live across the bay pay their transit fares? Mine are $226 monthly. According to this website, you’ve got a pretty nice house in the east bay. Have you ever been stranded inside a CVS because you can’t afford to get to work? How much do you pay your gardeners to keep that lawn and lovely backyard looking so neat?

It doesn’t say in her endless blathering about how horrible her life is, what with having a minimum wage job in customer service and all, but the location she decided to move to? San Francisco. She decided to move to one of the most expensive cities in the country, with astronomical cost-of-living, seemingly with no foresight or planning whatsoever. Her dad lived there, so hey, that sounds like a good place, right? Did she really think she could just pick up and move to an insanely expensive city and also instantly land her dream job, in “media”? Her rent, by the way, is $1245 a month. Maybe next time she’ll do a little research about the cost of living before up and moving to whatever city suddenly pops into her head. There are actually lots of places with nice weather, where you can make $8/hour and actually afford rent, Talia.

Anyway, despite the fact that while she got a job with one of the largest social media companies in the world, she immediately complained about it. Oh, that poor girl, having to start at the bottom and work her way up, like everyone else in the world has had to do for all of time! They didn’t understand her potential already? They didn’t just glance over her utterly brilliant Twitter feed and immediately place her in their social media department? She had to work for a year before moving up? The horror!

(By the way, Talia, your Twitter feed is not a resume, nor is it particularly witty or impressive. Get over yourself.)

The fact that she has the nerve to complain about her insanely awesome benefits is especially infuriating, though, considering how many people in this country can’t afford health care at all anymore (thanks, Obama). This girl literally has no idea what the real world is like. She has no idea how lucky she is to have the opportunity that she does. Yes, working minimum wage sucks. Yes, working in customer service is not a fulfilling and life-changing job. But you know what it is? It’s a foot in the door. She could have spent her time there working hard and being appreciative of the opportunity that she’d been given, but instead, she whined that the upper management at Yelp didn’t immediately recognize her brilliance and expected them to take care of her finances for her. Hey Talia — why is that their problem? You chose to move to one of the most expensive cities in the world with no advance savings or planning. You chose to take that job with full knowledge of what the pay and benefits would be. But because you’re a spoiled, entitled brat, you can’t appreciate it for what it is. Instead, it’s all moaning and crying and complaining about how horrible everything is, when it seems fairly obvious that the management at Yelp are putting in real effort to make it a good workplace, what with the free food and drinks everywhere, not to mention the amazing benefits. Coincidentally, Eat24, the division of Yelp that Talia worked for, is moving their customer service headquarters to Phoenix precisely because the cost of living in San Francisco is too high for anyone making minimum wage. But, like, Phoenix just isn’t as hip and cool as San Francisco, and, like, her dad isn’t there, and it doesn’t have the pretty weather, so, like, it seems unlikely that Talia, like, would be willing to move to, like, Phoenix.

On top of all that, she gets angry because, once again, the upper management ignored her brilliant, brilliant suggestions about all the ways that Yelp could be doing better things, can give back to the community, help their employees more. Gosh, it’s almost as if they think that those executives with decades of experience know better than a fresh-out-of-college millennial twerp with starry eyes and an over-inflated ego. (How dare they?!)

Look, sweetheart, here’s a little lesson for you: you are not special. No one cares about you. And all of your supposed wit and savvy and genius? That’s nothing that the world hasn’t seen before. Here in the real world, you have to pay your dues. Get over yourself, get yourself a work ethic, and you’ll go a lot farther. You could have applied yourself for a year and worked your butt off, but instead, you complained publicly on the internet about your financial problems and about how much your job sucks, and got yourself fired. (Yep: she added that not long after posting her little temper tantrum, she got fired. No surprise there. She’s even getting severance, which is pretty generous considering she trashed the company all over the internet, but she’s not satisfied, nor has she learned her lesson.)

In short, Talia? Grow up.
