[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"...people make a tidy living giving corporate presentations on this type of stuff. I just sat through one for course credits and he specifically characterized Boomers as spending everything they've got before they die and "sliding in [to the grave] with the wheels on fire." ... leaving nothing behind is a legitimate characteristic of that generation. As are selfishness, failure to protect the environment, and general sense that public goods (land, public services, etc) are to be used up by them without thought to leaving anything for other people."

"The training I sat through had an interesting bit about the rewards each generation finds most motivating. The generation before Boomers valued security over all, the Boomers value status, older Gen X value knowledge, younger Gen X and older Gen Y value inclusion, and younger Gen Y value freedom."

I hope your company has a great legal team. If they officially supported this training they are supporting age discrimination. If younger generations value "knowledge, inclusion" then someone younger should have stood up and said NO STEREOTYPES are acceptable including those related to age. [/quote]

“Age-based prejudice is the last acceptable form of prejudice,” says New York University’s Michael North, who studies ageism in the workplace. “People are making age-based generalizations and stereotypes that you wouldn’t be able to get away with about race or background. [b]Insert some sort of racial or ethnic group, or ‘OK Woman,’ and it wouldn’t go over too well[/b].”[/quote]
