I am a part of the Millennials
Generation. I was born in 1993. The time frame is from 1977-2000. We are the
product of Generation X. The Millennials generation is also known as Generation
Y. With over 70 million of us, we are
the largest growing part of the workforce. Generation Y is tech-savvy,
family-centric, achievement-oriented, team-oriented, and attention
craving. “The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for
Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours,
flexible schedules and a better work/life balance. While older
generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking
commitment, discipline and drive”. Generation Y is the first generation that grew up with computers,
cellphones, satellites, ipods, iphones, and social networking, “It goes beyond just smartphone obsession — Gen Y loves being
digitally connected too. Two-thirds of respondents said they spend just as much
or more time socializing with friend online than they do in person. Women seem
to prefer online interaction compared to men, but not by much: 38% of men spend
more time in-person than online, versus 29% of women”. Some people view generation Y as the
generation that destroyed all good. “They always want more…
They’re not grateful… You offer something up and it becomes an expectation.
There’s a real sense of—well, an entitlement.” Older generations, such as the Baby Boomers have a corrupt view on
Generation Y. Generation Y was formed from the changing culture and ways of
society, that the Baby Boomers don’t understand and are not reformed to. It’s
so diverse.
