Because Xers are unwilling to sacrifice family or personal time for the sake of their jobs, they have divided loyalties and appear to the Boomers to have a lack of commitment or initiative. Although the N-Geners are just beginning to enter the workforce, we can predict their work style from how they work at school and relate socially. They respect competence, not position. They want to be able to work quickly and creatively, doing it their way. They will probably be highly networked and high-tech.
Any multigenerational situation is a potential clash site.
Combine any two generations and you will find areas of conflict, in families, jobs, churches or communities. Blend three or four generations together and expect even more. Your church has outgrown its facilities. A committee has been appointed to propose a solution, including how to finance it. The Builders believe in having cash in hand, while younger generations see nothing wrong with taking out a loan.
