GenY : individualists or decentralized people?

Jump to Comments

I often hear definitive judgment about millenials:  they do not want to work anymore, they do not care about hierarchy,… Just have a look on today Daniel’s post. They would be individualist. As to me, they just balance their life another way.

First genY do not accept the same social codes. They do not want to be submitted to the social codes that were once useful to work together, go out together, spend holidays together, etc. They just refuse what was once the common rule. Does that mean they are selfish or that they does not want to work? GenY are more engaged in society and the world development than any former generation. They equally care about macro issue like environment, or simple human caring like a simple thank… Just see what bloggers gratitude means through Ari and Zac examples.

So what is the point! GenY is the first generation to be decentralized. That explains their difficulties with institutions and hierarchy. They do accept rich collaboration but not forever, just as long as it is rich or finder a richer one. Worse, they really can work with different people on different projects.

GenY changes the rules because their are the first to be decentralized.
