As you know, “millennials” is the name given to the generation following Generation X—those born between 1981 and 1996. The whole idea of naming generations and identifying differences based on how they were raised and educated as children can shed some light on how, as adults, they work in the workforce. Yes, this can be viewed as stereotyping, but there might be nuggets of truth that might make all the generations get along.
