Evidently My Generation "Needs to Get Real About Work World."
By: Susan Iskiwitch | 02/22/2008
Standing has employees covering every generation from Baby Boomer to Millennial (Generation Y). A while back, we had a speaker explain characteristics of each generation (and no, Generation X does not consider shoulder pads to be one of their unique qualities, big hair, yes, shoulder pads, no).
Check out this article from the Dallas Morning News about some interesting characteristics of my generation. According to those interviewed in the article, we're a confident, high achieving bunch; but at the same time, we take everything as criticism.
Have any of you experienced a difference in your work culture with two or more generations in the same office, and how are you handling it?

That article was ridiculous. You can’t summarize entire generations in an ending paragraph. So many inaccuracies and straight lies in one article.
