Since the technological boom and the emergence of information and communications technologies (ICTs), groups of people can be divided by generations, and it is common to find the 4 generations at work.
What are the 4 generations at work?
The evolution of employees over the last six decades has undergone constant changes, here are some of them.
Baby Boomers
They are people born between 1945 and 1964, after the Second World War. Many of them are now retired and even grandparents. They are 100% digital migrants. They made the transition from rural to urban life thinking that their children would have better job opportunities.
They were the first to enter university and to achieve this portugal phone number they worked in activities that in many cases they did not want to do, but “they had to”, in order to help their families financially, it was an obligation, a need and a personal satisfaction, but daily life led them to have a conformist mentality with limited projects, goals and dreams, doing what was socially correct. The baby boomers were also characterized, in the workplace, by being passionate about their work and by seeking job stability with long-term contracts. Retiring from companies was their goal because it guaranteed them peace of mind and a state of comfort, although they became conformist people with what they had.
Job opportunities came through recommendations from friends or family, sometimes through newspaper advertisements.
Generation X
Another of the 4 generations at work are the so-called Generation X, people born between 1965 and 1981. Their main characteristic is that the first digital advances occurred during their formative years, which at that time improved the existing analog experiences, which were part of the transition period. They were the first generation to receive professional training at a university, although to do so they had to work and pay for their studies. This new transitional reality was also experienced at work, because they used typewriters and computers.
