Generation Y isn’t afraid to mix work and play.
According to a new study, 18-29 year olds have no problem using their Facebook profiles for professional and personal use. Millennials friend an average of 16 co-workers — although 64% do not list where they work on their Timeline .
“Gen Y needs to be aware that what they publish online can come back to haunt them in the workplace,” said Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding , the company that conducted the “Gen Y & Facebook Study...Read Full Story
Let me start this post with a disclaimer: I’m not a member of Generation Y. I missed it by about six years. But I do feel somewhat qualified to talk about this generation because both of my sisters are “Millennials” — as are many of my friends and colleagues.
Maybe it’s because I’ve spent a lot of time with them, but I can relate to many of the characteristics used to describe Millennials and their overall perspective on life and work. Though Generation Y doesn’t dominate the workforce yet...Read Full Story

With due respect to Emptyage , I am not sick of Generation Y’s BS; I’m jealous as hell. In fact, to hear most journalists describe it, Gen Y is stoically and heroically facing the same challenges Gen X did, they’re just more tech-savvy and better looking.
Since that quintessential characteristic of Gen X—persevering despite crippling adversity—is now being doled out like cloying compliments from a dance club Casanova, I fear people’s very ability to...Read Full Story
Mat Honan, Gizmodo senior reporter and Wired mag alum, has published a post on his Tumblr site, Emptyage, that serves as a memo from Generation X to Generation Y. SUBJ: Stop Your Cotton-Picking Whining.
It's hilarious and has drawn (at last glance) more than 400 comments.
While I do think the economy is worse now than it was when Generation X graduated college, and the challenges of Generation Y even greater than ours, Honan's post resonated with me. I love this part the best...Read Full Story
FotoliaGen Y comes to the negotiating table with unprecedented confidence about what kind of workplace they want.

Not everyone in Gen-Y buys into the generation's conventional dating wisdom, compartmentalizing the physical and emotional. Many young singles say they don't participate in the hookup culture, even though they may see it happening around them.

A community portal about Generation Y with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Generation Y is a term designating a cohort of people born immediately after " Generation X " and is only one of several terms used to describe roughly the same group of people. There is however no consensus as to the exact range of birth years that constitutes "Generation Y", nor whether this term is specific to North America, the Anglophone world, or people worldwide. The only consensus, by way of its relation to the term "Generation X," is that those born in Generation Y must follow Generation X. Many published academic, demographic, business, and governmental sources have used their own specific parameters for who constitutes Generation Y, but there is by no means one accepted definition. The use of the term is also controversial and synonyms are often used in discourse or in published works.
