Generation Y: These People Feel that They Deserve Everything at Once

People from 'Generation Y' think that they deserve everything at once, like high salaries and prestigious job posts. But they are far from being hardworking or even ready to work. Sociologists are talking about the new 'Generation Y', which characteristics are recorded by the scientists from United States.

According to the "Daily Mail", sociologists state that Americans born in the late eighties of the last century are 'Generation Y' people. Compared with their parents, older brothers or sisters, the 'Generation Y' people prefer work places which have longer leave and the pace of work is not that high. They are convinced that they deserve high salaries, even not putting significant efforts to their work. They like to claim that work is just a way to get money, says "Daily Mail".

This study was first published in "Journal of Management", it compares different generations' approach to work.

People, who were born in the fourth or fifth decade of the last century, were truly committed and basically lived by their work. They were ready to work a lot with much patience in order to achieve their objectives.

People of 'Generation X', who were born in the seventies in the United States, have been forced to confront the growing economic problems. Work and relaxation is equally important to them. People from 'Generation X' understand the need to work hard in order to obtain pleasure, but unlike the previous generation, they are reluctant to make their life fully committed to work.

Meanwhile, the young people from the 'Generation Y' feel that self-realization at work are not important at all, searching for a 'meaningful' job is not for them. Status, which can be achieved working in a particular job, is far more important to them; but salary is in the first place.

These findings coincide with the "Association of Graduate Recruiters" previously published summary of the analysis, where it claims that the high school graduates in the United States of America raises unreasonable requirements. Many companies have announced that they try to hire foreigners because they are more diligent.

All in all, the people from 'Generation Y' are claimed to be more lazy and reluctant than the people from other generations. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk
