Hello Brazen Careerist Community!
Have you heard about #u30pro? It’s a weekly Twitter discussion that’s open to all ages, but focuses on issues and trends around young professionals. Our mission is to help young pros manage their careers—and bridge the dreaded “Generational Gap”—by openly sharing their thoughts and opinions.
#u30pro takes place every Thursday at 8PM EST. Tonight’s topic is going to be:
“How will Gen-Y managers change business?”
As always, we’re asking you—the Brazen Careerist Community—to choose one of the questions to be asked during the chat.
If you have a question related to this topic, leave it as a comment below. We will choose the best question and feature it in our chat as the #Brazen Careerist Question of the Week.
We also want to share the ideas we're chatting about with other members of Brazen Careerist. So every Thursday, Brazen Careerist will pull your #u30pro Tweets into your Ideas Feed, just like it does when you use #Brazen. For this to work, you must add your Twitter ID to your profile (learn how).
Join the chat tonight at 8PM EST. We recommend using TweetChat.com to follow the discussions. Just connect your Twitter account to TweetChat, type in the hashtag #u30pro and follow the questions from moderators @LenKendall and @DavidSpinks!

Generation Y has learned that working at one company for more than 5 years is rare. Older generations were used to the exact opposite, and searched or long term positions with an organization they can grow from. Generation Y seeks to soak up as much experience and become diverse in their talents/skills.
Gen Y knows that loyalty on the employer and employees side is just a memory. How will this affect Generation Y Manager. Will they seek talent in the form of consultants, seasonal workers, and temps to perform work? Or will they continue to hire full-time permanent workers with an understanding that it may be a short engagement?

Generation X learned a lot of this as well, some time ago. However, we also learned that there are benefits to staying in a job or organization a little longer, and that experience often does come through duration, and not just fleeting acquaintance.
I also think there are lifestage issues here rather than generational. People who are starting out in careers often find it easier to change jobs because they have different life priorities than someone a decade or two older. That doesn't mean the younger people won't have those priorities later--it just means they don't yet. (In general, that is.)

Gen Y is going to embrace the work-life balance, speicifically increasing the ease, acceptance, and usage of work-from-home connectivity. As Gen Y becomes manangers, our generation is going to change the landscape of how businesses are run, how strategies are set, and how organizations are staffed.
