Generational stereotypes can sound convincing, but in the workplace they can become a pervasive form of ageism.
According to this stereotype, DePaul says, "[Millennials] don't like to stay in one place for too long – we will only be in a job for two years, so we cannot be counted on as being loyal to a particular company or organisation."In 2013, Time magazine declared Millennials the 'Me Me Me Generation': "lazy entitled narcissists who still lived with their parents".
It's also important to consider the transformation of the employment landscape in recent years, Professor Duffy writes. Any perceived job-hopping or disloyalty could be seen partly as responses to specific conditions in the labour market, such as casualisation and the rise of the gig economy.So, in the workplace at least, are Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z really all that different?The analysis found little evidence of meaningful differences in generational attitudes to factors such as job satisfaction, organisational commitment and intention to leave a role.
