Generation X
Generation Y, Echo Boomers or Millennials
Generation Z

I'm not sure if it's brilliant or ... something other than brilliant... that there are companies that will come to your company to educate management staff re: the differences and how to best train/coach each generation.

How' about us Boomers 1956-1964 (little late, but near).

I think they're listed there in the Y category.

They're missing those in betweeners.... the latch key kids. Se moi!

I'm gonna take shit for this but this is something that (some) millennials need to know. If you didn't catch the some… then … yes, I fully aware that not all millennials need this info and if you're one of those... you rock!!

What I'm going to share with you are the two most important expectations that your current or future employer will have of you...

1. That you follow the policies and procedures of your company... of your department … of your Supervisor... etc... etc.. Yes, I mean follow the rules!

2. That you exercise… demonstrate … show some initiative. Meaning …

a. the ability to assess and initiate things independently.

b. the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do.

c. an act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation; a fresh approach to something.

Don't demonstrate how well … or how often... or how much... you just want to chill.

No matter what career path you choose, if you master those two behaviors … I promise you... your career path will be so much smoother and you'll be way ahead of everyone else. I will even go so far as to say that your direct Supervisor will love you!!
