Overgeneralizing the Generations
As workplaces become increasingly age-diverse, psychologists are working to help people of all ages work together. Conventional wisdom says if you’re a Millennial, born after 1980, you leave work at 5:01, won’t work weekends and prefer texting to face-to-face meetings. In fact, you probably just sent a text to five friends about how lame your 30-something supervisor is. If you’re a Baby Boomer, born between 1946 and 1964, you live to work, can’t text and can’t tolerate change.

They are your younger cousins or even your own children. They are exactly what you want to see in a new generation: […]
Yöneticiler İş Aramada Sınıfta Kaldı
Onur Yüksel, Sabah Gazetesi Küresel ekonomik krizin yoğun olarak hissedildiği geçen sonbahardan bu yana hemen her sektörden pek çok çalışan koltuğundan oldu. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’nun (TÜİK) verilerine göre yalnızca son bir yılda işini kaybedenlerin sayısı, 1 milyonun üzerinde. Üstelik lokomotif sektörleri birbiri ardına vuran krizden yalnızca alt kademe çalışanlar ya da yeni mezunlar değil, üst kademe yöneticiler de olumsuz etkilendi. Danışmanlık şirketi Human Resources Management’ın kurucu ortağı Aylin Coşkunoğlu Nazlıaka, son krizde işsiz kalanların yüzde 13’ünün birinci kademe yönetici oldukları tahmininde bulunuyor. Bu da yaklaşık 150 bin civarında yöneticinin işinden olduğu anlamına geliyor. Ancak insan kaynakları danışmanlarına göre krizin ortalama […]
