I wrote my recent post Take Me As I Am with a specific, and intentional, slant towards autism and autistic individuals. However, the feelings expressed are not limited to those with autism, as any young teenage rebel can attest.
In Generation Y in the Workplace Explained, guest poster Teresa Wu gives a Gen Y perspective on the sentiment.
As Gen Y enters the professional world, we bring a whole new set of rules. We’re often criticized for our restless job-jumping or our sense of entitlement. The truth is, we might play the game differently, but that doesn’t mean we’re not every bit as bright, innovative, and hardworking. Here’s why.
- We crave personal development
- We pursue unconventional paths
- We value company culture
- We’re not afraid to ask
- We embrace transparency
- We just want to do what we love
Like David Gurteen, from whom I learned of Teresa’s post, I crave these same things today but wonder if I did when I was a few (!!) years younger.
