Social media envy, poor performance, lateness and absence: Why one in three millennials fail to make it through their first 90 days at a new job

A third of millennials fail to make it through their three-month probation periods, a human resources expert has revealed.

Greg Weiss helps businesses integrate new workers but admits facing challenges with Generation Y.

He told Daily Mail Australia that millennials regularly under-perform, or are late or absent, and switch jobs often due to social media-induced envy.

Mr Weiss, founder and director of CareerSupport365, said Generation Y lose jobs because they score 'own goals' or make 'unforced errors', but companies are also not doing enough to keep them.

'The majority of reasons why probation fails is because of their [millennial's] own habits and lack of engagement,' he said.

'Of the reasons for failing, 62 per cent is poor performance, 50 per cent is absence, 25 per cent is lateness and 30 per cent is gross misconduct.'
