Ha ha. I read both your posts which are well thought out . Many thanks. Just a thought — don’t you think that categorising people based on an arbitrary time when they were born is misleading and futile exercise which only exacerbates sterotypes? It also feels like a logical fallacy. Look, I was born in the 70s, started work in the early 90s and grew up with a blind belief in corporations as routes to growth and prosperity. Were were the first generation to use mass technology at work (hello DOS/Windows 3.0) and we took to it like fish to water. No one slapped a label on us. But I doi remember being a know-it-all, self-centered, arrogant, and insecure and a lot of the things you describe in both your articles. In fact I was ust just a normal 20 something year old with a level of ambitionand trying to become a professional. I and all my peers were extremely hard working as we worked in FMCG marketing and long hours and weekends were just expected. No one complained. As a bonus we stayed in our jobs longer than 2 years and didn’t spend all day online. Oh and we had much, much better music ;). A more useful debate is how people with different levels of experience and knowledge can work together usefully, without being semantically segregated. You’re in a great position to do that and hope you will take up the idea. Warm regards — Miguel
