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'
