Why Do You Work?

When you ask people why they work, a lot of them will say they’re ‘only in it for the money’. When you work for money, you can be financially independent, and have some control over your life. Sometimes money truly is the only reason a person works. But most people have more substantial reasons for working. For example: • They like to spend their days doing something they’re good at. • They like being productive. • Other people need their skills, and they feel obliged to supply them. This all sounds wonderful, but you’d need at least some money to do most of these things. Relaxing and doing what you please is great for a holiday, but after a while the pleasure can wear off and you can feel aimless and bored

Distinguish Factor

Generations grow up with different beliefs and perspectives. The conditions of the economy, the state of the world, technology, and social trends all impact the overall behavior of the generation. For Generation Y, it is a return to traditional values, a strong sense of community and diversity, and an emphasis on technology, information, and education. Let’s take a look at a comparison between the Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1976/1981), and Generation Y (1977/1982-1995/2001). Please keep in mind these are generalized observations taken from a different article (see below): Level of trust toward authority • Boomers are confident of self, not authority. • Gen Xers have a low level of trust toward authority. • Millennials have a high level of trust toward authority. Yet they are less trustworthy of individual people. Perhaps it’s from being born into an age of terrorism or maybe it’s their overprotective parents or the danger-obsessed media. What do they view as the ultimate reward? • Boomers want a prestigious title and the corner office. • Gen Xers want the freedom not to have to do something. • Millennials prefer meaningful work. How were their parents with them? • Boomers had parents who were controlling. • Gen Xers parents were distant. • Millennials? Their parents were intruding. Or, as my Millennial-age intern tells me, they have “helicopter parents”—they’re always hovering. What are their views toward having children? • Boomers are controlled, their children were planned. • Gen Xer’s are doubtful about the possibility of becoming parents. • Millennials are definite about parenthood. In fact, they view marriage and parenthood as more important than careers and success. And overall family life? • Boomers were indulged as children. • Gen Xers were alienated as children. • Millennials were protected as children. Views toward education? • Boomers want freedom of expression. • Gen Xers are pragmatic. • Millennials need the structure of accountability. Political orientation • Thankfully, boomers want to attack oppression. Without those views we might not have had civil rights or protested Vietnam. • Gen Xers are apathetic and more worried about the individual. • And the Millennials, the facebookers and Tweeters? It should be no surprise that they crave community. Last but not least, the views on the big question... • Boomers want to know, “What does it mean?” • Gen Xers need to know, “Does it work?” • Millennials are curious to know, “How do we build it?”

Agree in Future

agree in future I do not agree to keep such an arrangement in the future due to concerns about the future of mankind is essential and justified, but they can not help increase the productivity of 25 years was capable of but not involved by the end of the month. For that, we should try to divide the massive project to digestible bites, with a healthy slathering of praise for each phase will be done Do you agree ? I agree with this category, because Baby Boomers represent the largest of the three groups, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the workforce population. Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 by post-WWII parents who gave birth at a “booming” pace. This is the group at the heart of the impending labor shortage that will start in 2008, the first year that the Baby Boomers hit the average retirement age in the United States of 62½. Generation X is the smallest of the three groups, representing roughly 16 percent of the workforce population. These people were born between 1965 and 1980. The smallness of this group magnifies the Baby Boomers’ impact as they march toward retirement. Most Gen Xers work under the supervision of a Baby Boomer, and this alone has been the root of many performance management issues. Generation Y, sometimes called the “Baby Boomer Echo” because they are the children of the Baby Boomers, represent 25 percent of the workforce. They were born after 1980 and provide some support in numbers, but they are at the heart of the skills-deficiency crisis, especially in the maintenance industry where so much of the critical skill sets are locked in the heads of Baby Boomers.
