He pointed out in his book that the post-war baby-bloomers were certainly hardworking but were also more privileged than their predecessors as well as successors to have the tremendous opportunities in their prime time as a result of the rapid Hong Kong economic fly in the 1970s - 1980s. The fact is 50% of the HK population in the 60-70's were <20 year-old, which means If you are hardworking enough during your youth, the bright future was waiting for you. Unfortunately, nowadays, only their hardship in working was selectively emphasized. For their immediate successors (born after 1970's), no matter how hardworking or how good a team player they are, the objective fact is their opportunities are significantly less. For the generation Y (born after 80's), they simply can't see their future.... who can blame them for looking for fun or arguing about heavy workload all the time?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597252835886812346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999974840962725092.post-74090510563317926392010-01-28T16:49:42.996+08:002010-01-28T16:49:42.996+08:00It may turn out that the boss of Gen Z is still Ge...It may turn out that the boss of Gen Z is still Gen X. The government is looking into further postponement of retiring age now. In the future, Gen X may not step down till 65+. Gen Y simply get no chance or has lost the motivation to become the boss. <br />See the example of Queen Elizabeth/Prince Charles.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086815804201660829noreply@blogger.com
