How have our attitudes to life and work changed through the Generations?

I came across the above on Linkedin a couple of weeks ago and it got me thinking about how our expectations have changed through the generations. 

When you look at the attitude towards careers you can clearly see how much peoples views on work have changed and people are no longer loyal to one company. But why is that? is that because people feel they are worth more and want to work for a company that can see that or is that because loyalty isn't rewarded as much anymore by companies? Maybe we all strive for change and progression and we need a bit of variety in our lives? What ever the reason, it seems the days of people staying with a company for 30 years are a thing of the past. 

One thing that stood out to me was the communication preference (above). Generation Y which is the generation that is now entering the work place for the first time are more likely to send an email or text message then have a face to face meeting. You can't really grasp someones tone over an email and things can get misconstrued and problems can arise with how different people can take an email, which was not intended to cause offence, but does. There was that case years ago where someone took their boss to a tribunal over his use of capital letters in an email, but then with an email you do have an email thread so can keep a record of what was said and when, so i guess there are benefits to the old and new way of doing things. 

I think one thing that you can take from this when you look at our "Aspirations" (above) is that whether its in bricks and mortar or careers, our home life and the feeling of security is still the most important thing to us.
