Generation Y kicks some workplace ASS

Generation Y (for those of you who may not know, Gen Y is me and most of my readers) is hot shit in the workplace. Considered to be both "High Performance and High Maintenance" Gen Y is driving employers up the wall by not being responsive to the typical corporate command structure. Gen Y employees are as demanding of their employer as their employer is of them. Having watched the dotcom bust and having seen previous generations (our parents generation especially) struggle with balancing work life and private life makes Gen Y much more willing than previous generations to change employers and even careers to get their employment needs met. Gen Y also, it seems, is more fiscally responsible with saving for retirement a high priority among the twenty something set.

So to all of those who called us "Generation Y-bother" and mocked our "slacker" attitudes, I say "That is MS. Y-bother to you, and are my copies ready yet?"

THINGS THAT ARE SWEET UPDATE
For those of you who read Thursday November 3rd's THINGS THAT ARE SWEET and tuned in last night to the West Wing Debate ... Who Won? but sadly they are saying that viewers will NOT get to vote on who becomes the next West Wing president.

THINGS THAT ARE SWEET
Since no one was killed ... PIRATE ATTACKS are Sweet.
