Host: The question was, what sort of attributes do you look for in an organization?
Millennial A: I want flexibility. I did an internship, and it was with 1)SAP, it was last year, and my boss said,“You can work on the moon if you want. I don’t care. ”I love to be able to work mobile, but I’d like to go into the office, too. We have a shared desk arrangement, and we can move desks around. That was fun.
Millennial B: It’s all about communication. If we get connected somehow, you can get things done if you’re connected to the right people.
Millennial C: Between having worked on Wall Street, a start-up in the Philippines, having founded my own company and working now, I think my No. 1 priority is, does this work have an impact, is it meaningful, am I touching other peoples’ lives and are we doing good things? And is there a future for me at this workplace, can I grow, can I learn from my colleagues and develop?

Millennial D: I was thinking, when we go to [sic] workplace, we want to be heard. That’s the thing that we’re looking for. I mean, we know that we’re not that experience, we don’t understand that very well, what the business is about, but we ask questions. If we’re showing that interest, I want people to look back at us and, like, try to help us as well, so we can work together and we can make that work. We can find a solution together.
Host: So the question is, what is your preferred method for giving and receiving feedback about job performance?
Millennial B: Face to face, like, having a meeting. Face to face is always better, but, if it’s not possible, having a conference call. It’s all about communication. If it’s…if you can say to…to a person directly, you can get things done.
Millennial C: And building on that, I am also happy to take negative feedback. I want it direct, honest, so I can execute on it. I want us to be really clear about the outcomes that we’re going for. We don’t have to dance around the topic, and you’re not going to hurt my feelings.
主持人:問題是:你希望自己效力的機構有何特點?
Y世代甲:我想要靈活性。我去年在思愛普公司實習,我的上司說:“就算你到月球上工作我也沒意見。”我希望工作時不受地點的限制,但我也想到辦公室去。實習期間,我們有一個分享辦公桌的機制,我們可以坐不同的辦公桌。那很有意思。
Y世代乙:關鍵是溝通,如果我們以某種方式建立了聯系,與合適的人建立了聯系,就能把事情辦好。
Y世代丙:我曾經在華爾街和菲律賓的一家新公司工作過,也曾創辦過自己的公司,現在給人打工。我想,我首先考慮的是:這份工作會不會對社會有所影響?是否有意義?我會不會對別人的生活有所影響?公司是否在做有意義的事?還有,我在這個地方有沒有前途,有沒有成長空間?能不能從同事身上學到東西,不斷進步?
Y世代丁:我在想,在上班的時候,我們希望自己的想法得到關注,這是我們所尋求的。我是說,我們也明白自己經驗并不豐富,我們對企業的實際運作了解不多,但我們會提出自己的問題。如果我們表現出興趣,我就想得到人們的關注,并盡力幫助我們,這樣大家就可以一起努力,把事情做好。我們可以一起找到解決問題的辦法。
主持人:好,下一個問題是,在提出和接收工作表現的反饋這個問題上,你更喜歡什么樣的方式?
Y世代乙:面對面,比如說以開會的形式。面對面的交流總是比較好的,但如果這一點無法實現,那也可以進行電話會議。關鍵是溝通。……
