Generatia ratatilor scris de DeCe?

 

Noi astia care visam mii si mii de euro salariu, noi astia care avem mii de euro, dar ne-am mai dori 1.000 in plus, noi astia care am terminat o facultate din 2000 incoace, noi astia care renuntam la facultate pentru job, noi astia licentiati, masterizati si doctorati pe banda rulanta, noi astia care lucram la o multinationala, noi astia care avem telefoane mai scumpe decat tot salariul parintilor - pe 2 luni, noi astia care nu mai avem timp in afara jobului, noi astia, corporatistii in devenire si in general,… suntem toti o generatie de ratati.

10 Reasons Gen Xers Are Unhappy at Work de Tammy Ericksson

 

I’m worried about Generation X and corporations. As far as I can tell, these two have a tentative relationship at best – and are likely headed for some rocky times ahead.

Corporations really need Gen X – folks in their 30’s to early 40’s, who should begin to serve as our primary corporate leaders over the next couple years. But I fear many current corporate executives are taking this small and therefore precious group for granted.

Many of you X’ers are not thrilled with corporate life. You tend not to trust institutions in general and deeply resent the Boomers’ confident assumptions that you will be motivated by the same things that Boomers have long cared about. Many of you have told me that you are planning to leave corporate life “soon” – to start entrepreneurial ventures or work for smaller companies – options you feel will suite you better than the corporate roles looming ahead.

Why are many X’ers uncomfortable in corporate life?

Have a nice weekend!
