Generational differences

I went to the Project Management monthly meeting tonight. The speaker discussed the four generations in the workforce. We did a table exercise. We had to describe 6 terms bout one generation. Two of us wanted to discuss the millenials and 6 wanted to talk about the baby boomers. 7 of 8 are baby boomers. Anyway it was a fascinating discussion on the environment that we grew up in. The previous generation had virtually life time employment. We had to deal with globalization and corporate downsizing.  Few have stayed at the same company for a lifetime. The younger generation realizes that fact and more are planning accordingly. The speaker said more of them are pursuing a dual career path in order to mitigate the job uncertainy. Anyway it was fascinatng and I wish I could capture the thoughts and ideas. I  read a book on the four generations and read several articles on the topic. What would be interesting is to see how the generations would be divided in Russia or Germany. If I thought hard enough I could come up with some dividing lines and characteristics.
