WHAT'S EATING GEN X

摘要

Never was the generational divide more starkly exposed than when we posted a piece by Tammy Erickson at BusinessWeek.com on why Gen Xers are unhappy at work. We received more than 350 responses from readers sharing their own experiences, frustrations, aspirations, and solutions. Below is just a tiny sampling of the stories you told us about being sandwiched between boomers and Yers in the workplace. I'm in my late 30s, and I would say that I and all my friends are disgruntled with Corporate America regardless of what industry you work in. I've worked in the same industry since college, but I'm with my sixth company. I've experienced more layoffs, mergers, and restructurings than I care to remember. I've relocated on several different occasions. However, I'm done uprooting my life and moving across the country for a job. I don't feel loyalty to any company. You work hard and put in many hours only to get handed a pink slip.
