You Raised Us – Now Work with Us

Are millennials a generation of hope or a hopeless generation? Are they lazy slackers, selfless idealists, entitled jerks, entrepreneurial geniuses, clueless workers, energetic employees or some amalgam of all these archetypes? Millennials constitute the largest population of any generation in the US workforce and they provoke a churn of opinions and stereotypes. To create an accurate profile and offer employers valuable insights into millennials, intergenerational expert Lauren Stiller Rikleen conducted an elaborate, extensive, revealing survey of more than 1,000 millennials. She discovered their heartfelt views on a diverse range of topics, including ambition, work and identity. For insights into who the millennials really are, heed their own words as they discuss work, vocation, priorities, morals, dealing with their elders, confronting stereotypes, and more. Rikleen’s research will help every generation in the workplace – baby boomers, gen Xers and millennials themselves – collaborate and understand each other better. getAbstract recommends Rikleen’s thorough investigation of this influential generation to parents, professors, HR managers, entrepreneurs, and managers of businesses large and small.
