Boomers see work as a physical place to show up; Millennials see it as something you do anywhere. Marc Haine argues both generations need to understand why the other thinks this way, rather than expecting everyone to follow the same rules.
For me, work is a place. I do go to work. I don't understand. And this is where I believe for us to get past these generational disconnects, millennials need to understand why us boomers can't see it different, like in our bones. But the boomers, by the same token, have to understand that the world that the Millennials are growing up in are not the same world that the Boomers grew up in, and therefore there's no way they're going to function successfully if we expect them to live and work the same way we did, right? It's not only not necessary, but it's not very useful.
