Generation Y may cope

01-Apr-2009

In response to Tracey’s web chat (Recruiter, 18 March), as a Gen Y myself I disagree with your comments. I think this is a great article
(recruiter.co.uk, 9 March), highlighting the need for openness and honesty throughout the ranks in times of economic troubles.

Generation Y are shown (on the most part) to be resilient, good at coping with change and will tackle situations head on. It stands to reason then that they may be coping with the recession slightly better than their older counterparts and they may think about solutions to problems differently as well.

If bringing in people who cope with situations in this way can help firms fight back in this chilly climate, then why not get the message out
there?
