From these keys points, I noticed that between Gen Y and older generations, there are some differences in the characteristics that could be attributed to factors such as their attitudes and professional values other than generational belonging. It is important to find the ways to break the stereotypes because managing the mixture of ages, faces, values and views is an easy task. Since the differences and generational stereotypes are known to exist, there is no need to overstate them in the…

However, not everything I just mentioned defines who I am. I am not easily persuaded by the latest trend. I am perfectly content with the previous trends. I am very slow to change…
