In this 60 Minutes Spoof our...
BNET just published a highly amusing feature article package on Gen-Y, aka the so-called Millennials. I personally find such categorizations (Gen-X, Gen-Y, Boomers, etc) fairly bogus because the difference between the generations seems fairly microscopic to me, all things considered. For example, every one of the...
Generation Y by the NumbersMILLENIALS NOT SO DIFFERENTI'm just a little astonished that this is "news". If we're really trying to understand the differences between Gen X, y and boomers, then why would Robert Half and Yahoo not study and post the same data for those two populations. ...
Last week, Sean Silverthorne's post "Gen X Is Unhappy at Work" got more hits than any blog post in BNET history. Clearly, the subject hit a nerve. Based on reader comments, one of the things that chaps Xers' hides the most is their younger coworkers: the millennials, or Generation Y....

3 Ways to Connect With Gen-Y WorkersJust Gen Yers?This restlessness would seem to apply to Gen Xers as well too, no? (or is it just anyone who isn't yet loaded down with a lot of debt and responsibilities that make them resigned to a day of work drudgery?)RE: 3 Ways...
Generation Y workers are slackers... social butterflies... poster children for Facebook, cell phones, IMs, and ADHD. So goes the conventional wisdom from the Baby Boom generation in the workplace.

As Jessica Stillman noted in yesterday's BNET1, young job interviewees are failing in basic interview etiquette -- you know: texting on their mobiles, chewing gum, casually dropping f-bombs; the sort of stuff us 40-somethings tried to get away with in our high school social studies classes. One...
