Apparently, it’s parents. Raising children might be easier if parents didn’t insist on doing everything for their kids, all the time. Psychologist Karyn Gordon writes about parenting in a new book and says this about kids today:

They’re showing up late, or they want raises quickly and they want things to happen fast and it’s just so different than the boomer culture, and the boomer generation. Many of these young workers are afraid to make their own decisions and need a lot of feedback and “hand-holding” from managers, Gordon said…

I never had that problem. I have instead in my life been chronically fearful of being fired–even from completely unpaid internships. Perhaps Dr. Gordon will address my problems next. She could consider it, anyway. There’s enough there for a volume or two.
