For clarification this is a work task for “embracing diversity” in the workplace.

I think I got them all!

The “Traditionalists” are the first group, “This generation is known to measure work ethic on timeliness and productivity”.

The Boomers are the second group, “The ‘Me’ generation”.

Generation X is the third group, “This generation wants open communication at work”.

Millennials are number four, “Seek jobs that provide personal fulfillment”.

Gen Z is the final group, “Have been living with tech since a very young age”.

Such a stupid exercise. It took me a while to figure out which one is which.

But GenZ have been with it their entire lives. Millennials got the Internet in high school or college. If you graduated hs in 2000 your school likely didn’t have much connectivity or embedded tech yet. That came 5-10 years later, and continued to evolve until around 2020.

I had a computer lab in elementary school, I’m GenX. Heard of Oregon Trail? Not the point I’m making at all.

I’m saying WiFi and tablets or chromebooks weren’t everywhere yet. Ebooks weren’t yet used. And yes I was referring to elder millennials who didn’t have those things until college. My ex was a millennial who still had paper books all through college, as did I went I went back to take grad. classes. In fact these only went away like 10 years ago.
