QUESTIONS FROM THE ARTICLE ABOVE
Please feel free to comment on these or any of the information imparted in the article

Do you feel like an alien in the office?

Do you feel that there is a culture clash in the workplace?

They say that Generation Y employees do the bare minimum to complete a task and still expect to be rewarded". Do you think that is true?

"Generation Y has some key assets", Ivey said. "Young employees are more flexible, expecting and desiring less regularity out of their work day". Do you think this is true?

Ivey said the parents of Generation Y prevented their children from learning the reality of life outside the nest by coddling them. Having grown up in a time where every kid on the soccer team got a trophy, a young employee is likely to expect praise for mediocre work. How do you feel about this comment?

Ivey said employers complain that the parents of young employees will sometimes try to extend their parental protection . Has this ever ocurred in your workplace?
