Gen X - those born between 1965 to 1979
Gen Y - those born between 1980 to 1990
In my line of business I see boomers, Gen X and Gen Ys all the time. I find Boomers to be very "salt of the earth", loyal and will do exactly what is asked of them. Gen X (me) are folks who like partnering with peers, generally want open door management and will do what they are told. Gen Y folks want guidance, rapid advancement and generally have a sense of entitlement.
Having said the above "general" statements. What has your experience been with Gen Y recruits vs Gen X recruits? Do you find differences at a micro/macro level? I'm not only curious but this has been a challenging issue with civvie organizations for the past couple of years and I'm right in the middle of it.
Thanks,
J
