<\/p>\n

Dear Millennial Friend,<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let me introduce myself. I am from Generation X and I am proud of it.\u00a0 I am writing so you can get to know me and vice versa.\u00a0 As an Xer, I\u2019ve taught, worked with and managed many Millennials. And for me to be able to work well with you, I need to get to know your\u00a0generation<\/a>\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know it isn\u2019t fair\u00a0to describe anyone in a general perspective.\u00a0\u00a0It is very important to recognize
that not everybody in any particular group acts like everyone else.\u00a0 But many people of the same age range share similar experiences that shape perceptions and work-styles.\u00a0 So let me address this letter to the Millennial age group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You see, dear Millennial, we probably belong to two of the biggest generations in the workplace right now.\u00a0 Okay, we could only be next to\u00a0you, we should admit that!\u00a0 Yes, there\u2019s the entry of the Gen Zs now, but as of\u00a0this time, you, Millenials will be the next generation of managers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much has been said about Millennials.\u00a0 In the workplace, you are very creative and companies would want you for that, but people of other generations has also labeled your age group to be highly entitled, always wanting to be praised and not used to hard work.\u00a0\u00a0Some say that you want it all.\u00a0 They say you want the power, the title, and the high salary immediately….wanting everything fast and driven by instant gratification.\u00a0 Millennials are said to have the potential to become high achievers but still others may see you as over-confident and self-absorbed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You might even be tagged\u00a0<\/span>as professional job-hoppers, as you go from one company to another.\u00a0 But I believe this is just one of the\u00a0<\/span>misconceptions about people of your age.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In my opinion, you are just eager and anxious about the\u00a0future, that is why you are looking for more satisfying\u00a0positions where you can be so much happier.\u00a0 Despite all the negative connotations, your fresh and innovative\u00a0ideas, without a doubt, can bring something to the table. In fact, I could say\u00a0that you see the world as full of opportunities and you welcome
challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now since working together is inevitable, we must try to understand each other.\u00a0 Our work ethics and values, our perceptions\u00a0and the way we live.\u00a0 Maybe we can teach each other a thing or two and find some\u00a0common ground so we can have a beautiful working relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let me just start by describing how we are and maybe next time, you can tell us your side of the story. And somehow, maybe we can bridge the so-called generation gap:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gen X-ers have the ability to collaborate and work with others to get things done at work. We are comfortable in working with people.\u00a0 \u00a0But at the same, there is a tendency\u00a0 for us to be more independent. X-ers tend to be very task-oriented.\u00a0 You can present to us any problem and we will innovate and finds ways to creatively solve them.\u00a0 So, when working with this generation, don\u2019t be surprised or offended if there will be times that we may choose to work alone.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. Gen X-ers are entrepreneurial and basically, results-oriented.\u00a0 We will not tell you what and how to do your job. We would like to be hands-off, so I would advise you to talk to us and clearly discuss expectations before you get into work.<\/li>\n
  3. Not a lot of Gen-Xers were praised while growing up.\u00a0 We are described as skeptics, we grew up questioning everything.\u00a0 But please don\u2019t take them personally.\u00a0 We will tell you the advantages and disadvantages to bring out the best in your tasks and ideas.\u00a0\u00a0 And when you receive a recognition or praise from us, \u00a0that would mean that you have done a really great job<\/li>\n
  4. Gen X was actually the first generation to grow up with computers and somehow, technology is inextricably woven into our lives. We are comfortable with PDAs, smartphones, email, laptops, tablets, and other technology. Believe it or not, studies had shown that Xers are the most connected generation based on the amount of time spent on digital\/tech endeavours. However, we must admit that we admire how extremely techno-savvy your generation is and we would like to be coached on the wonders of new technologies. You take technology proficiency up a notch and it’s no secret that you currently corner the market in tech prowess.\u00a0 You view technology as an extension of yourself. More than a hobby, technology is a lifestyle for you and you are native tech users.\u00a0 We would surely appreciate it if you can coach us on the wonders of the new technologies<\/li>\n
  5. We believe that the path to success is long and hard.\u00a0 Authority resides in the corporate structure.\u00a0 Progress, promotion, and success come from years of hard work, experience and expertise.\u00a0 Our superiors can be a source of our motivation and their leadership is our driving force to work hard.\u00a0 A simple recognition or a positive note is more than enough to keep our morale high.\u00a0 We, generally embrace feedback. As means of improvement, we take criticisms constructively . That’s why Millennials shouldn\u2019t be shocked with critical feedback.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  6. We understand that you value work-life balance.\u00a0 But do you know that Generation X was actually the first to introduce the idea of a solid work-life balance into the workforce?\u00a0\u00a0This is one reason why workplace flexibility is one of the most important perks for us and some of us will also walk away from our current jobs if there isn\u2019t flexibility.\u00a0 In other words, we also value our personal lives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Our generations (X and Millenials) have a wealth of knowledge and experience that we can share.\u00a0 In fact, I should say all generations! \u00a0We need to understand the values that we have.\u00a0 We need to learn and understand the differences between generations.\u00a0 When we understand what makes different generations “tick,” we can prevent divisions and conflict.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    You see, it doesn\u2019t really matter how experienced we are or (how old we are), we are all aware of the value of respect.\u00a0 We are willing to adjust and respect the talent and potentials of your generation, the Millennials, and the next ones. \u00a0We can only respect one another if we fully understand our differences, especially those pertaining to work styles.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    And so, to end my letter to you, I would like to invite the Millennials to write me back and give us the chance to get to know and understand you more.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve said, much has been said about Millennials. This time, let it come directly from you, straight from your heart.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Looking\u00a0forward to hearing from you soon.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Sincerely,\u00a0
    Your Friendly Gen-Xer Co-worker<\/span><\/p>\n
