I never said we don't pass through process, what I said is that we prefer a shorter and simpler process that will lead to the same goal



Technology has come to make things very easy and our generation is taking advantage of that information to achieve things faster and simpler
Unlike the older generations that prefer to stick to the old status quo of doing things


For example back in the days the older folks used school library to do their assignments but today thanks to gen z initiative we can use google to do that same assignment
I can't remember when last I bought or photocopy a textbook or handouts, all I do is to snap them or download the pdf and I'm good to go


You old folks need to understand that the world and it systems are changing, what took you folks years to accomplish can take us days to accomplish same feet


Its the information age baby
It's it either you level up and grow with us or you remain stagnant with the old status quo and become envious of gen z quick rise to power and glory

See this comical child attributing technological developments to his generation.. if it were not for the meticulousness of the previous generations, would u have those technologies u so brag about?

you just confirmed the submission in this thread that you guys are stupidly saucy and highly irritating. Who envies a spoilt brat? You can never get the discipline our generation got that moulded us into the people we have become. Most of the things you're enjoying today were put in place by older generation who harnessed the human and financial resources at their disposition. So what do you have to give but insult most of the time? Kobo, Amazon kdp and the rest have been there and ultra modern library was never put in place by your generation. You're only a beneficiary who happened to be born at a time when such evolution was taking place. See, we take pride in combination of the old and new to enjoy life to the fullest. For an instance I drove my father's car that was a manual transmission in 2003 when I left secondary school and I drive any automatic car today either floor or hand gear, Benz or any car. This is a leverage I have over you. This is to name but a few. The home training and discipline you guys lack which is telling on you will be your greatest undoing that will make life bitter to you eventually so I expect you to be sober rather than jumping upandan all over the space. Evolution is different from basic home training that you guys lack and resist and that's the sole purpose of this thread. The world will continue evolving but discipline must remain.

In recent years, there has been a significant focus on understanding the behaviors and values of Millennials and Gen Zs in the workplace. However, the reality is that workplaces today have a diverse mix of generations, each with its own unique set of values, priorities, and work styles. In fact, as of 2023, there are five different generations in the workplace.

For people managers, it's crucial to understand these differences to build a workplace where everyone feels respected and can collaborate effectively. This post offers practical advice on how to bridge the generational gap in your organization.

Understanding Generational Differences
Each generation has been shaped by unique societal, economic, and cultural influences, which affects their approach to work and how they interact with others.

There are Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Understanding the differences in experiences and values among these generations is important for ensuring cohesion and collaboration in the workplace.

Traditionalists (1925-1945)
Traditionalists, also known as the Silent Generation, were raised during challenging times, such as the Great Depression and World War II. As a result, they value hard work, loyalty, stability, and respect for authority. Traditionalists prefer structured environments with clear hierarchies and appreciate recognition for their long-term commitment and contributions.

Baby Boomers (1946-1964)
Baby Boomers grew up during a period of post-war prosperity and are known for their optimism and teamwork. They value career advancement and financial security, making perks like promotions and retirement benefits important to them.

Generation X (1965-1980)
Generation X, or Gen Xers, are self-sufficient and adaptable, having grown up in an era marked by social and economic change—dual-income households and more single-parent homes. They tend to be skeptical of authority and prefer self-directed work environments.

Millennials (1981-1996)
Millennials came of age in the digital era. They prioritize meaningful or purpose-driven work and value personal development, flexibility in work arrangements, and collaboration.

Generation Z (1997-2012)
Generation Z or Gen Zs had a rather diverse upbringing, so they value creativity, individuality, and purpose in their work. They are entrepreneurial and adaptable, with a strong focus on technology and innovation. Gen Zs appreciate financial incentives and healthy work-life balance.

Challenges of a Multi-generational Workforce
Having employees from different age groups in a workplace can bring about various challenges such as:

Misunderstandings
The differences in communication styles and preferences can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, as messages may be perceived or interpreted differently by different generations. This can cause problems between colleagues, potentially escalating into serious conflicts and hindering productivity and collaboration.

Different Work Styles & Expectations
Having a multi-generational workforce means dealing with different work styles. For instance, older employees may prefer clear hierarchy and guidelines, while younger ones might value more independence. Addressing the diverse expectations regarding compensation and recognition can also be tricky.

Problematic Stereotypes
Generational diversity brings age biases and misconceptions. For instance, older workers might think younger ones are lazy or too sensitive, while younger workers might think older ones are stuck in their ways and can't keep up with new things. Such assumptions could contribute to a tense, uncomfortable, or toxic work environment. These stereotypes could also cause unfair treatment among colleagues and potential legal issues.
