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

As a supervisor myself,, I have to whole heartedly agree with this/these statements,,
I find the hardest thing to teach
any generation, is the team/help spirit thing.

, and that its not "always" about blaming someone,,young verses old,,and vise versa
Having said that,, what happens on the home front, and what happens at the work front, can be a very different story,,but,, we should still hire them at 16, whilst they still know all there is to know,,,
Pass the popcorn please,,
