Closing the gap between the 'gens',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The great divide between the baby boomers and Gen Y is slowly narrowing and the way forward is for the former to understand and accept the latter's culture and vice-versa if an amicable working relationship is to be developed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Sure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], every young job seeker below the age of 30 talks about the ideal Google office environment where it's literally stripped of all conformity of an office.
It's the "Neverland" of a workplace where,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the name of creativity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], staff are allowed to dress down,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bring pets to work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], play games electronic or otherwise anytime of the day and are feted by a 24 hour cafetaria with an impressive menu,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so long as personal targets and deadlines are met.
And here in Malaysia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the closest we can get to an office like this is that of a Telco (telecommunications company) in Shah Alam. In order to adopt a work environment like this would require a change in mindset,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one that not many managers from the baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) era would be able to achieve.
And having said this, I must also add that these managers are already putting in effort to understand and accept what some may describe as the quirkiness of the Gen Y employees.
"Like what,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?" you (if you're below 30) might ask,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
First,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is about your dressing when a person of your generation walks into interviews in spaghetti strap tees, jeans and sneakers. The next is your need for work-life balance as part of your job expectations even though many from your generation might not have as yet worked a single day in your life. That would include research such as getting into the minds of these managers and seeing what they expect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how to make a good first impression (like taking off the jeans and sneakers for something more formal) and request not demand for access to social media especially when you can point out its advantages in helping the company collect data. (This is more plausible as managers now are more open to social media being a useful tool for research).
With the recent move to extend retirement age, it is likely that the baby boomers and Gen X managers will stay in employment a lot longer. This would also mean a compromise in expectations between the two generations is very much needed.
It may be useful to take note that whatever the managers know about the Gen Y culture is through the reports they read and supported by their limited dealings with them which is usually confined to their own children.
And, often reports paint rather unflattering pictures of the young job seekers. A quick glance at some of the reports have given me the impression that more than 50% of them don't pay their credit card bills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], demand flexible hours and rather take a lower-paying job that allows them to facebook at work!
Hence, your first job before you get employed would be to brand yourself and to convince your employer why it would be worthwhile to hire you.
Convince them that you like flexible working conditions because regardless of where you are, your job is a learning experience so long as the environment is inspiring. Hence with the right factors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can actually work the entire day and night or as they say 24/7,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if need be.
Here are some points that you can put forth to your employer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].Show off your technical skills by using the social media to learn and brand yourself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. As such you will be able to understand and find creative ways to help with branding the company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
