A former workshop recently noted that the youth in his office no longer do happy hours anymore. I thought it was just a state of Teetotaling Gen Zers, which may be healthy, but it is still a bit sad to imagine that children these days had no fun after work. But in the middle of his heirs, a terrible idea crossed my mind: They may make happy hours; They only do not invite him. He is married, in his thirties, and he was a medium manager for a while now. Aknzah may not want in 20 things to get used to returning one with the president-if there is anything, he is likely to complain about him.
One of the aging rituals that are not estimated is the moment when you realize that you are an adult. It is one of those things that infiltrate you. Yes, 18 is age when Legally The government is an adult, and there are important landmarks in 21 (drinking) or 25 (renting a car), but the living experience in adulthood is more flexible than that. Sinfo has collided with a travel, or there is a struggle at a meeting, and only wondering that he is responsible here. Suddenly, it strikes you that the answer is you. Millennium generation: on the map of aging, you are here.
In cultural imagination, one of the main novels on the millennial generation was that it is young. They were defined by a sense of deemed development, a generation that suffers from permanent failure at all. But the march of time comes to everyone, and thousands of millennium is no exception. They buy homes, give birth to children, make investments, and upgrade at work. Millennium generation are the adults in the room now – they are the officials. It is elegant, but it is also tired and frightening.
“It is amazing for many when you get there, especially if you do not go through life, believing that you know everything to start with,” said Jennifer del, a major research scientist at the Center for Effective Organizations at Marshall College of Business at the University of Southern California at the university and author of the book “What the Millennium Gille wants”.
She added: “For many people who do not necessarily believe that they have all these things, they were fully contacted, and they discovered that they are now the ones who are supposed to maintain the boat constant and in the amazing path and immersion.”
In their family life, the millennial generation finds themselves increasingly in the “generation of sandwiches”, a life stage in which they take care of their children and their parents (or their ancestors). On the same party, even if their parents did not need to provide care, they slowed down, and they are not at the top of the things they were. Their mothers are no longer responsible for planning holidays, or their parents may need help in knowing how to prepare their new phones. On the other end, they discover what is for dinner every night or start doubting the effectiveness of the kindness of paternity and kindness in view of what is going on with their wrong children.
Most likely 10 years, the millennial generation was the new thing. The millennial generation was a shock to the regime. The millennium generation was changing everything
Many millennial generation are also in a professional sandwich position. They have worked for a long time enough to enter the administration or at least transfer companies ladder a few degrees. They are not yet in the ranks of Gen Xers and Baby Boomers, so they are also expected to translate the smaller generation into their presidents. It can be related to young people, but they are not completely coinciding with them, and it is in itself uncomfortable to confess. Like, what do you mean that there are jokes about the Millennium managers on Tijook? Why does everyone talk about how to link to General Z? How can I no longer be the smallest person in the room?
“Most likely 10 years, the millennial generation was the new thing. The millennium generation was a shock to the regime. The millennial generation changed everything,” said Lindsay Pollack, a spokesman and consultant in multi -generation workplace. “The transition from that and that you have a new child in the city with the Gen Z collection is likely to be more clear because the millennial generation got a lot of media about being new and different.”
Our educational formation is characterized by graduation – from primary schools, secondary school, college, etc., at work, there is some, in changing titles and promotions, but progress is more strange, so you may not notice that.
“Sometimes, the transition begins to happen when it begins to manage someone for the first time, but even though the institutions have become more and more, they are less than a moment,” Pollack said.
In the Harris Zapier survey, More than 60 % of the millennial respondents They said they have direct reports. They are often a reluctant administrative category because many do not like the idea of being a bad man and setting rules. So they are trying to deal with things differently as managers, in the hope of bringing more sympathy, transparency, more healthy balance for work and life on the table more than they were granted at the beginning of their career. Sometimes, you are the president having to put a foot, which they learn how to do it effectively. But even if they did not manage anyone, they are expected to know the status of the Earth. This can lead to some antichrist syndrome, as well as a comprehensive anxiety that comes with aging.
“You forget how much I learned, and this has a value – communication, and the nuances in managing people and projects,” Pollac said. “More beginners do not know what they don’t know, and you are doing.”
I have recently faced this: Two young journalists have come to me in the past two months to guide. My reaction is that I hate it. I feel that I am not old or experienced enough to reach the teacher’s condition, and I am concerned I do not have much to tell them that it is of any benefit. When some meditation, I realized that I am on the Merry-GOUND tour for a period of time means that I can be useful, even if the guidance is not in fact a jam.
“Butter” is fun when a one -time celebration did your tax on your first time. It is not fun when it becomes full of full time. When you are responsible at home and at work, this means that there is not much time to recharge yourself. Your job is to contact the teacher about a school problem and explain your Gen Z report that they cannot contact patients once a week. If you have your home, which is what an increasing number of millennial generation does, there is no owner to know things for you – you have to contact the plumber when breaking the tube.
Del said: “It is a little exhausted and frightening because you are now responsible for keeping all the balls in the air, and you are not really sure to play the network,” Del said. “Sometimes, do not necessarily trust yourself to do this, but you trust yourself more than other people who may do it.”
You may prefer not to drive on your girls’ trip, but your best is terrifying behind the steering wheel, so you absorb it and say you will rent the car. It is annoying, but given the number of miles you put on the tires and craftsmanship, you know how to deal with things a little better and prefer to take the steering wheel.
You have these landmarks in the box of life larger and heavier you must raise.
Being the adult in the room means dealing with middle age, which has become a reality for many of the millennial generation who crosses the threshold of 40. The fading hope of young people faded. New pain and pain crawls. People may be disappointed in how their lives appear and not too much in the future. Those in the scene of the sponsorship You have more financial and emotional problems From their peers. Middle -aged you are at the bottom U U From contentment. We are happy when we are young, then we have a bad time in the 1940s or so, then we are happy again when we are old.
“When you are younger, many responsibilities do not bear, or they do not impose taxes,” said Lindsay Anderson, Associate Professor at Maryland University who studies old age. “After that, you in this era in the middle of the era are trying to discover life, where you have children, and perhaps for parents and the elderly, a profession.
In addition to the challenges and pressures that come with adulthood, the millennial generation also loses the cold automatic factor that young people give. Their socks are very short and their hair is wrong and they have no idea at all about what is happening with the pants anymore. The brands speak to them differently, in the words of a ton, such as “Sensible”, “Smortical” and “Safe”. And the good news may be concluded in the decorations of being senior who have no time to take care of any other direction they are lagging behind. “Clean jeans” is the only goal when you have a young child screaming in the background.
“For me, I am part of this generation, which is now paternity, motherhood, adults in every sense of the word and managers in every sense of the word, maybe I am very stressful to go to a happy hour the way I used to,” said Chris Loville, a professional coach from Los Angeles.
there This is This fly online. It goes without it: “I am thirteen years of age: Don’t tell me what to do. Now I am: Can anyone tell me exactly, with my time arrangement and great details, what should I do?” The current millennial stage is crystallized. Like or not, the loving and loving generation with the width with the offer is now managing the offer. And many of the millennial generation do not like it.
There, of course, aspects here. Once you go to the role of adults, you understand that you can trust yourself to take over the responsibilities that you may have felt arduous. There is something to edit in being the decision and develop this level of autonomy. It is also good to be a little more together. The tasks that you take are those you bring, even if you don’t realize it. It seems like you are lifting weights in the gym for years, and over time, you reach the point where you can really choose heavy things.
The millennial generation tries to do things differently and better than past generations, to varying degrees of success. As much as they may want to be a “wonderful” father, sometimes, they should be a father. We compare ourselves to the models that we had as children and youth, which means that our parents, grandparents, first managers and our older colleagues. We take the sermon on what to do and how to behave from them, or at least of the way we thought it would do things. Often, we realize that they have a point.
Anderson said: “You have a new appreciation for the work that your father, manager, or whatever the model for you,” Anderson said.
The experience of realizing that you are adults-excitement and fear that you come with-not unique in relation to the millennial generation. Baby Boomers did it, the Gen X did it, and the Gen Z, you will get there as well. The Millennium Generation does this in the era of social media, which means that they get their peers monitoring, wondering, and wondering if they are shortened. The Internet is a space for endless suggestions on how to make things “properly”. Part of being an adult in the room wanders all of this to find out the answer – and in the end it is just “good enough”.
