I have a number of Y's and X's and whatever comes before that.

Yes I notice that a number of the Y's have plenty of distractions. (Didn't you when you were 22?) the X's tend to be worried about young children and paying off their house. (Didn't you when you were 32?) and the old farts like me just talk about their super, or how much the "ex" costs them.

There are slack ones and terrific ones in each "generation".

Am I generalising? - probably

Are you? - definitely.


Ok back to the popcorn
Well put Paul, my experience too. Out of a staff of 19, my two worst employees consist of 1 X Gen x and a baby boomer. Let's not allow the truth to get in the way of entertainment though.

Enough popcorn there for two?
