My name is Orla McSharry and genwhyask is about questioning the status quo from a Gen Y’s perspective. I know Gen X and the Baby Boomers will agree when I say that Gen Y ask allot of questions and I am obviously no exception to this stereotype given I have started this blog for this very purpose! I have decided to create a blog around some of the interesting and often taboo topics which I have questioned in silence for a long time.
This blog is not a forum for complaining, but rather a good excuse to question businesses, management systems, our work ethic etc in order to get a better understanding of our professional world and the many different viewpoints that generations have. I want to engage my professional network and facilitate discussion around many topics that I feel need to be addressed and discussed collectively in order to provide clarity on why things are they way they are.
Gen Y may also be known as the “Generation Next”or “Net Generation” (I like this term!) and broadly speaking it consists of anyone born between the year 1980 and 2000. I fit snugly into this cohort (and won’t be so forthcoming with admitting my age in a few decades, so there’s no time like the present!). I like the tag “Net Generation” because one of the issues I experience in today’s professional world is the rate at which most of our business systems function, it is not comparable to the rate at which technology is progressing (i.e. cars, computers, portable devices, engineering innovation etc).
If you subscribe to my blog I look forward to our future discussions.
Always happy to have guest speakers involved in my blog so please contact me if you are interested at mcsharryorla@yahoo.ie
