I disagree with your number one item:
“Young people born between 1980 and 1990 were raised by Generation X parents”

Gen X were still in Jr. High and High School during those years. Most Gen Xers didn’t start having kids until approximately 87-94.

Kids in 1980 to 1990 where raised by Baby Boomers.

I agree with everything else.Especially item 6. As a Gen X’er working with and supervising Gen Y and younger, if the tech isn’t up to speed – they leave!

Key to retaining younger employees- Trust them & relax controls intended to monitor their time. RT @todmaffin: http://ping.fm/LE7fj

And we wonder why government is having trouble attracting and retaining the next crop of workers. I am in a more advanced age group than the under -25 set but continue to be frustrated by the inability of the complete lack of understanding of Gen-Xers and our needs. How are high level bureaucrats — who, for example, see things like social media as threats and not tools — even going to begin to understand how to relate to our kids if they can't even master relating to their parents?
