Generations at WorkThe dynamics associated with working with people in an office, department or organization are difficult to classify or explain. Additionally, personalities, positions, ages, and values ​​are all aspects of how people interact to get work done. Additionally, each generation brings distinct elements and predilections to the workplace. Thus, the four generations represented in today's workforce are examined. My generation People born between 1946 and 1964 are classified in American society as baby boomers. I discovered around my thirties that I was part of this generation. Although I had heard of the term growing up, I never thought I was a member, especially since I was barely qualified. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project, baby boomers are the darkest generation. Additionally, their outlook on health, finances, and quality of life is bleak (Cohn, 2008). However, some experts refute this assessment. They argue that baby boomers, also called the “Me” generation, are competitive, self-reliant and are considered workaholics. Therefore, their serious work ethic has made many of them stay in the job market longer than expected. As a result, baby boomers remain employed to some extent, usually part-time, in order to maintain a certain level of income to support their hobbies and other non-work interests (Cordington, 2010). Clearly, some baby boomers are experiencing a heightened sense of hopelessness. by a combined fear of aging and loss of income (Cohn, 2008). Although this generation's median household income is higher than that of adults 25 to 44 ($53,000) and adults 65 and older ($30,000), the transition to a fixed income with medical bills increased is...... middle of paper...... "Even though older workers make more errors, perhaps due to a decrease in their physical characteristics, they rarely make serious errors , perhaps because of their greater experience” (Fernandez, 2011, p.1). Ironically, the skills of older workers are too specific and unique to meet the needs of today's multi-level positions. Therefore, young, multidimensional, computer-savvy workers weaned on cutting-edge technologies are preferred (“The New York Times,” 2009). Conclusion All four generations represented in today's workforce have tendencies, perceptions, and misconceptions about each other that can hinder working relationships. However, each group brings the capabilities, beliefs and values ​​necessary for a business to succeed. Therefore, the creativity, innovations, and ingenuity of the American workforce are due in large part to the tolerance of perceived discrepancies in each generation..
