Gen Y and Proud
An article on news.com.au today got me thinking (which is quite embarrassing as most of the time it’s little more than an online tabloid). Sporting the title “Why Bosses Hate Gen-Y”, I cursed News’ editors as I took the bait, clicked through and read the article. Surprisingly, once I managed to drag myself through the pap, I was rewarded with something quite insightful.
According to News, those of us that were born between 1977 and 1992 fall into this category. Being a ‘78 baby, I find myself on the Gen X side of the Y’ers, but as most of my life is digital, I really identify with much of the stereotype.
From the article: Margaret Kirby, the MD of iGroup (a recruitment company) gives us a top 10 list of how to work with Gen Y’ers and I totally agree with it. Have a read and let me know where you sit.
