English Edition - Episode 25: Navigating Generational Differences - A Multifaceted Challenge

Do you ever get that feeling— a quiet, slightly sad feeling— when you suddenly realize there’s a clear age gap at work? Not just a ‘generation gap,’ but more like a huge river you can’t quite put into words.”** After work hours, the LINE group chat often goes silent— except for a few senior managers or small team leaders still talking to themselves. Or people like us— the so-called ‘veterans’— who have learned to hold back, save messages in our notes app, set an alarm, and wait until 8 a.m. the next morning to send them. But, but, but— when younger colleagues message the veterans at any hour, we’re somehow expected to respond immediately and fix the problem right away. Yet we would never dare expect our even-more-senior supervisors to reply to us instantly. Sigh… In the workplace, we’re also stuck with elders above us and juniors below us. Yes— we’re the sandwich generation. The social environments we were born into, and the ways we learned to respond to the world, shape how different generations think and act. If workplaces fail to understand these differences, daily interactions and communication can quietly turn tense— or even dangerous. At worst, this leads to staff turnover, unstable teams, and the loss of valuable talent. At best, it pushes veteran staff to learn new slang and figure out new digital tools. Baby Boomers. Generation X, Y, and Z. Do you know how to tell them apart? Which generation are you in? Or… are you from the Martian Generation?
