Generational Differences

How can some people not know about blogging! That is what I have recently run into in my work. Some of the older employees (I am 27 so I am getting up their too!) are not up to speed on what is going on in the ever changing world. We all work with people from different generations which at times can be trying. At my age I do not understand the need for the long drawn out meetings where we talk about the same things over and over again. Let’s get online and get something done already! But I am learning that the Baby Boomers do have somethings that we do not have to to offer us for our career growth. They bring experience that we Generation X and Y folks do not have…seeing as how we do not choose to stay in the same jobs for very long at all! The company that I work for Microburst Learning, LLC has developed an online learning course to help the different working generations understand why they are the way they are. I have recently taken the course myself. The lesson was helpful! I now understand (to some degree, ha) and can better work with people from the other generations. They are just from a different time that taught them different things about the world and jobs. If you are running into the same thing in your daily work routine take some time to help yourself by going to http://www.microburstlearning.com/ to learn more about our working in a Multi Generation course. The course has helped me!!
