Bit harsh that was!! Although I admit that the youth of today aren't really up to much (I sound like my Dad, HELP) would you be carry on in a job that you hate, that you don't want to do and isn't where you want your career to go just because someone thinks otherwise? Would you, the airline pilot, like to be given a crewing job because a passenger complained that you made a hard landing? Always of course assuming that you have the option, as most youngsters living at home do!
I spent the last year in a job where the last 6 months where sheer purgatory, but had to stay to pay the mortgage, now I'm out, have a new job and am happy for the first time in years. Give the lad a break!
