Show 202 – Geography vs. Generational Differences

Well, the Kuskokwim River is starting to break up here in Bethel, Alaska…the geese and ducks are here for the summer, and we are getting our sunset around 11:30pm.  I knew I needed to get a podcast out soon, because I know it will be tough as soon as the salmon runs start.

On this show, I talk about whether some of the differences that we see in our different employees is really “generational”, or are some of the differences “geographical”. It’s a little different take on the typical discussions about the generational differences found in our employees and the U.S. workforce in general.

I also have to throw out a thank you to some of my classmates at CSU Global.  It isn’t a paid ad, but I do have to say that I am enjoying my online classes at CSU Global, so if you want to get some quality classes in without paying the huge fees associated with others schools like University of Phoenix, you may want to take a look.

As always, I have links to the technology news that I talk about in the podcast. In this segment, we talk about these items in the news:

Siemens Medical Malvern, PA facility raided by the Pentagon Criminal Investigation Unit.

United States Electrical Grid Penetrated by SpiesChina and Russia use Malware to get into the U.S. power grid.

Domestic Terrorism in the U.S.Fiber Optic Cuts in California cut 911 and other services.
