The struggle seems to lie with GEN X & Y always needing to know "why" about every action/change they are involved in. It seems previous generations accept social adjustments and changes with more adaptability and less resistance. They have more of a laid back or strong backed approach to change. The question is, does change always need to be questioned, or should change be regarded as evolutionary inevitability in every day business and sociological circles. As we all work to accept the "diversity" of generational gaps in the workplace I think we can find the solution with the average of all view points divided by four. All we have need to do is agree to disagree. As a Manager in wireless communications I can say that GEN Y dominates my work environment.
