style="font-size:15px;">      So with all of that in mind, let's talk about the different generations found in today's workplace!

      THE BIG THREE – AND A NEWCOMER

      First off, I'm going to set some parameters. It's true that there are some pre–Baby Boomers (e.g., the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation) collecting paychecks these days. But those folks are so few in number that most discussions about the generations in today's workplace usually omit them. I'm going to follow that trend myself and focus on the generations that make up the bulk of today's workers: Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, Millennials, and Generation Zers.17

      As far as birth dates go, only the Baby Boomers have numbers that are pretty much universally accepted: 1946–1964. In fact, theirs is the only generation that's officially defined by the US Census Bureau, as one journalist found out when he called that office.18 If you ask anyone about dates for other generations, you'll get plenty of different responses. They're usually not far off from each other, though, and tend to vary by only a few years – further proof of my earlier “everyone has some sense of what they mean” statement.
