  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:问题是:你希望自己效力的机构有何特点?
  Y世代甲:我想要灵活性。我去年在思爱普公司实习,我的上司说:“就算你到月球上工作我也没意见。”我希望工作时不受地点的限制,但我也想到办公室去。实习期间,我们有一个分享办公桌的机制,我们可以坐不同的办公桌。那很有意思。
  Y世代乙:关键是沟通,如果我们以某种方式建立了联系,与合适的人建立了联系,就能把事情办好。
  Y世代丙:我曾经在华尔街和菲律宾的一家新公司工作过,也曾创办过自己的公司,现在给人打工。我想,我首先考虑的是:这份工作会不会对社会有所影响?是否有意义?我会不会对别人的生活有所影响?公司是否在做有意义的事?还有,我在这个地方有没有前途,有没有成长空间?能不能从同事身上学到东西,不断进步?
  Y世代丁:我在想,在上班的时候,我们希望自己的想法得到关注,这是我们所寻求的。我是说,我们也明白自己经验并不丰富,我们对企业的实际运作了解不多,但我们会提出自己的问题。如果我们表现出兴趣,我就想得到人们的关注,并尽力帮助我们,这样大家就可以一起努力,把事情做好。我们可以一起找到解决问题的办法。
  主持人:好,下一个问题是,在提出和接收工作表现的反馈这个问题上,你更喜欢什么样的方式?
  Y世代乙:面对面,比如说以开会的形式。面对面的交流总是比较好的,但如果这一点无法实现,那也可以进行电话会议。关键是沟通。如果……如果你可以跟……跟一个人直接进行交流,你就可以收到成效。
  Y世代丙:在这个基础上,我也不介意面对负面评价。我希望得到的是直接的、诚实的回应,这样我就可以根据反馈采取行动。我希望我们双方能在最终结果这个问题上达成一致。我们没有必要绕圈子,你也不会因此伤害我的感情。

徐志摩(1897—1931),现代诗人、散文家,生于浙江海宁县,本名徐章,后被父亲改名为“志摩”。徐志摩自幼聪颖,文学、科学素养都很深厚,在剑桥留学期间,他深受欧美浪漫主义和唯美派诗人熏陶,开始投入到新诗创作中,回国后创立新月派。后人谈起徐志摩,话题似乎常常绕不开那三位才情卓然、性格互异的女性,以及她们和徐志摩之间那些或纠结、或烂漫、或炽热的爱情故事。然而,他的人生还有不少令人羡慕的幸事。他少年时
