Of all the young people I work with, I am one of the oldest.
This is troubling from an employment perspective. Workplace concepts
of Generation X and Generation Y differ depending on what you read. I’m currently showing the ropes to a new hire who’s squarely “Gen-Y” – he’s just out of college – so I’ve been reading a few articles on Gen-Y in the workplace, and their newfangled expectations of what a modern workplace should be like.
(According to the articles, these crazy Gen-Y-ers like having clear ideas of what their duties are, and what kind of deadlines they’ll be facing. They also like encouragement and praise. Kids today, I tell you.)
