Word on the street is that some sectors of the workforce and society-at-large are confused about the differences between Gen-X and Gen-Y. The similarities are that they are younger than Baby-Boomers, have different perspectives about work and have a broader appreciation of technology in comparison with their older counterparts. However, the groups are very different in their motivations, values, and experiences which needs to be made clear. Here is a rough guide:
X-ers are those in their mid-30’s to late 40’s (sometimes a bit older), generally well-educated, well-travelled, conscientious and diligent at work, with a no-nonsense perspective in life. They are adaptable to changing technology and are often change-agents in a business. Your boss is likely to be from Generation X, so named for its enigmatic or indefinable attributes.
