SIR WILLIAM WALTON'S WOE-MAN: GEN X +/- GEN Y?
http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/01/dont_make_assumptions_about_the_next_generation_invest_in_it.html The question is often put: how does Gen X tolerate Gen Y in the workplace? Entirely out of character (lol!), I would put the obverse and more bluntly. Gen X'er, if you can't tolerate Gen Y or learn to cooperate, maybe it's time you left. Don't beat yourself up. The last thing we need, I would argue, is Jack Welch's nightmare-scenario of 'Mary': "Mary, you've been here thirty years, but you weren't THAT GOOD. I'm sorry, we'll have to let you go - Mary: But why didn't you tell me"? _____ This epoch has big problems to deal with. Whether you are 25 or 55, organisations cannot afford - financially or spiritually - inactive passengers on the bus. You know the classic, folkloric admonition: either we hang together, or we hang separately.. Never was this truer than today. _____
'Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
Watch where you spit
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better
And we die young
Faster we run
Down, down, down you're rollin'
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
And bury your brother
And we die young
Faster we run
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
Another alley trip
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better
Faster we run
And we die young'
