Introduce the topic of how to deal with the newest generation in the workforce, the Millennials (aka Gen Yers), and you're bound to liven up any leadership meeting. Some think that the differences in attitude between Millennials and more experienced workers are so profound that business, as it is currently being conducted, will never be the same again. Others believe that the debate is pointless since the distinctions don't constitute significant differences. And there appears to be yet a third group that doesn't care if the differences are real or not, believing that time will settle things down, who suggest that we all "just get back to work." So which views are closest to reality?
