Their defenders say they are motivated, versatile workers who are just what companies need in these difficult times. To others, however, the members of "Generation Y"—those born in the 1980s and 1990s, otherwise known as the Net Generation—are spoiled, narcissistic(自恋的)idlers who cannot spell and waste too much time on instant messaging and Facebook. Ah, reply the Net Geners, but all that messing around online proves that we are computer-literate multi-taskers who are skillful users of online collaborative tools, and natural team players. And, while you are on the subject of me, I need a month’s vacation to reconsider my personal goals.
This culture clash has been going on in many organizations and has lately seeped into management books. The Net Geners have grown up with computers; they are brimming with self-confidence; and they have been encouraged to challenge received wisdom, to find their own solutions to problems and to treat work as a route to personal fulfillment rather than, merely a way of putting food on the table. Not all of this makes them easy to manage. Bosses complain that after a childhood of being spoiled and praised, Net Geners demand far more frequent feedback and an over-precise set of objectives on the path to promotion. In a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, a consultancy, 61% of chief executives say they have trouble recruiting and integrating younger employees.
For those hard-to-please older managers, the current recession is the joyful equivalent of hiding an alarm clock in a sleeping teenager’s bedroom. Once again, the touchy-feely management fashions that always spring up in years of plenty are being ditched in favor of more brutal command-and-control methods. Having grown up in good times, Net Geners have labored under the illusion that the world owed them a living. But hopping between jobs to find one that meets your inner spiritual needs is not so easy when there are no jobs to hop to. And as for that vacation: here’s a permanent one, sunshine.
In fact, compromise will be necessary on both sides. Net Geners will certainly have to lower some of their expectations and take the world as it is, not as they would like it to be. But their older bosses should also be prepared to make concessions. The economy will eventually recover, and demographic trends in most rich countries will make clever young workers even more valuable. Besides, many of the things that keep Net Geners happy are worth doing anyway. But for the moment at least, the Facebookers are under heavy criticism. [br] According to Paragraph 2, Net Geners are not easy to manage in that
选项
A、they’ve attached too much importance to the personal fulfillment.
B、they’ve been courageous enough to challenge the authorities.
C、they’ve had excessive confidence in themselves.
D、they’ve required excessive responses and goals.
答案
D
解析
第2段提到如今的老板们对网络一代颇有微辞,因为他们在职场的晋升之路上需要更频繁的反馈和过度详细的目标,D符合文意。A中的too much importance和C中的excessive confidence夸大了文意;B“挑战权威”与文章不符,网络一代更多地是出于对自我价值的追求,而非刻意与老板们唱反调。
