Who cares what makes Generation Y tick?
From a marketing e-mail I received today:
Are you frustrated by young workers who feel entitled to success, need constant praise, want everything to be 'their way' ...? [YES.] Are you struggling to attract and retain a generation of workers whose commitment seems more temporary than permanent? [NO, WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.]
This is Generation Y, a workforce of as many as 70 million, and the first wave is just now taking their place in an increasingly multigenerational workplace. [THAT'S NICE.]
In this 1-day seminar, we'll show you how to motivate and manage Generation Y. You'll learn what makes them tick, how to retain them, and make them productive and energized. [WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.]
It's your problem, Gen-X and Gen-Y. Not ours. Work, figure it out, ask questions, and we'll help you--but it's your job to adjust to "us" and the often hard adventure of learning to solve problems for your employer and its clients.
