Comment on Generation Y Is Annoying to Manage, But That’s a Good Thing by Middle Management

Middle Management — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:53:18 +0000

I’m with Sean - this is bullshit. Listen here Jr., from a Gen X’er, I’ve had plenty of people of all ages work under me and management is management despite age or any other factor - each person has different motivators that will help them get the job done - some respond to coddling, some to pats on the back, some to flattery, some to healthy competition, some to cash bonuses and sadly, some to the fear that they will lose their job but the one most frustrating thing I find as a manager is when I have to hold your hand because you need”guidance.” In this economy, managers do more than just supervise and report to others. In most cases we are in the trenches with our teams. Saying you need feedback because you where close to your parents or teachers just makes you seem like a child. My favorite people to work with have been self-motivated doers of all ages - people who need excessive guidance get the shit jobs on my watch because you’ll just get in the way of the rest of your more competent co-workers and waste our time. You insult and discredit your own generation. I work in media and the Gen Y team members I’ve hired have always been hard working, self-motivated, smart and in some cases taught me a thing or two as well and I was happy to learn it - whether that be about a new piece of software, a new XL trick I didn’t know or a new TV show that should be on my radar. Whoever it is that you are describing would never last in my circles. Being a needy whiner is not a “gift” no matter how old an employee is and wanting to have “fun” at your job is nice but that’s not why you work - I have fun after work and on weekends. If I happen to have fun at work - that’s gravy. I’m not saying that every day should be a morbid grind but remember it’s a JOB - it’s WORK - not RECESS. Grow up pee-wee.

Comment on Helicopter Managing Fails With Some Gen-Y & Corporate America’s Pushing Back by Jennifer

Great post and very interesting conversation! Well, problems mentioned are very true but we can’t ignore these potential 70 million Gen-Ys. I have seen recruiters using behavioral testing along with other assessment tests to make sure that the employees’ attitude towards work is according to the requirements. So, this problem can be solved to a great extent by incorporating behavioral aspect in the testing while hiring.
Luckily, we have online tests with the behavioral aspect (www.hirelabs.com). Good luck to all the employers and Gen Y!
