Interesting article about different attitudes between boomers and millennials/Gen Y at work. For me, the interesting thing is the extent that I agree with the millennials, and thought these were the same attitudes boomers had, especially about dress and differences between lifestyles. Boomers in many ways became more like the parents they rebelled against, and who millennials are impatient with now. On the other hand, the "faster pace" does not appeal to me. I certainly notice among millennial posters here the millennial temperament this article describes. "Among other characteristics that stand out, millennials, who have come of age with the text message and social media, are an impatient bunch: They’re hyper-connected, tech savvy, entrepreneurial, and collaborative."
Generally though, when I was younger, and even today, I agree with most of the millennial attitudes as described here, and remember many boomers who did too. It seems it's not so much a difference in generations, as the overall trend society has been moving toward for decades now since the sixties.
