Every generation has changed the rules. This generation has a stronger focus on flexibility. Its a good thing but its bad for some companies. We need to always learn from our roots, or we will just go in circles.

One thing that always confounds me about studies of "Millennial work habits" is why this generation in particular seems to be calling the shots when it comes to their working life. I am a member of Generation X but I too want freedom and flexibility. Why does it seem like "what Gen Y wants it will get"? Does it just come down to the sense of entitlement that many complain about seems common in this generation? Or is more a case of, this is the generation moving into the workforce, so this is the generation whose habits and traits we will analyze most?
