Millennials

Every generation is given a tag that describes the general behavior of those people born in a certain time frame, like say babies born post second world war are Baby Boomers? After that there was Generation X, then Generation Y and now Millennials. The need to categorize every few decades is for sociological research that helps in marketing and managing the new work force. Basically for business needs.

Recently I came across this article describing the people born between 1980 and 1995, which is basically me. I'm a millennial. Some the points described are accurate so here I'm sharing with you:

-Millennials are tech savvy, with lots of gadgets at their disposal

-They multitask, many windows open at the time, listening to music while writing offical letter and in between checking facebook and tweeting from time to time. A coffee break and they'll be texting while gossiping. Whether they multitask effectively or not, they will multitask

-Millennials are hard working, enormously clever and resourceful with tools to get things done

-Sometimes called the trophy generation, they are used to winning, getting what they want, they tend to be fiercely competitive

-In the corporate culture they assertively seek more feedback, responsibility and involvement in decision making

-Millennials have an interest in volounteerism, and interest in the world around them

-This group is more educated, have less ethnic, gender or geographic boundaries, They celebrate diversity

-They seek leadership, and even structure, from their older and managerial coworkers, but expect that you will draw out and respect their ideas.

-Millennials seek a challenge and do not want to experience boredom. Used to balancing many activities such as teams, friends, and philanthropic activities, millennials want flexibility in scheduling and a life away from work.
