Believe it or not, Millennials (1980-2000) may not be the first generation of so-called “trophy kids.” The famous quote by Samuel Adams, “Give credit where credit is due” originates all the way back to the 1700s. So why have Millennials been pegged as “trophy kids” ? Some believe we expect a blue ribbon for every task we complete, no matter how trivial. I don’t need a round of applause every time I walk into the office or perform a standard task, but I do assume that I’ll receive recognition for exceptional work or redirection if I’m heading down the wrong path.

So, you would assume most of those users have a relatively firm grasp of what is considered appropriate in social media sharing, right? Wrong. In fact, you couldn’t BE more wrong. Not convinced?
