hours and weekends. This striving for balance often labels this generation as the misunderstood slacker generation. The least wanted, least parented gener- ation in recent history, Gen X is both 25% smaller than the Baby Boomer generation that preceded it and 25% smaller than the Millennial/Gen Y genera- tion that follows it.
This generation likes to be expressive in the way of understanding why things works, so when tasks are delegated they may be the individuals known to ask “Why does it have to be done this way?” or “I know you want it this way, however can I do it this way?” Generation X is known for their preference in direct feedback when giving criticism or encour- agement along with the freedom of doing their delegated task using the strategy they choose. When it comes to education, college was their ticket to a better life, therefore this is the generation where they were highly motivated to go to college or a trade school because it was going to make them more money. This is one reason why Generation Y build their career plans around get- ting some form of education due to the success Generation X has had with their careers.
Time with family and friends is what a Gen Xer works for; time away from work is most important to them.
