The current generation of young and promising software developers believes, thinks and acts different. They love freedom and flexibility. Unfortunately, on a daily basis they have to cooperate with more traditionally thinking project managers. It's a clear example of a Gen Y versus Gen X conflict. It's the confrontation between two completely differently thinking generations. Will we be able to solve this?

Editor's Notes
What Gen Y wants in life:Image is crucial. Want to be seen as a successful person, the CoolGet rich in the shortest time possible. Being a millionaire before 30 will be the best. Drive a nice car, wear Prada , eat Gucci, breath Armani and speak Zegna. Don’t want to wait and work their ass off for the next 30 years just to have the slight possibility of really being able to afford those stuff.http://tankenling.com/standingtall/the-generation-gap-problem/baby-boomers-era-gen-x-vs-gen-y-the-generation-gap-conflict
