Exercise 36

It is common knowledge that today's college graduates are different from those who came before them. The distinctive traits of Gen Y (or Millennial) employees have been well documented. Your boss, the owner of a small but growing soft ware development company (you can decide what type of soft ware), thinks his managers and recruiters need a better understanding of this generation. He asks you, one of his more accomplished young employees, to review the literature on Gen Y employees and write him a report in which you describe the main traits of this segment of the workforce and recommend ways to recruit, manage, and retain them. He'll share this report, or parts of it, with his managers, who are Gen Xers and Baby Boomers.
