I don’t know when it happened
but I’ve noticed that these days managers/bosses etc. etc. want to be called leaders. Because leaders are unlike those mentioned earlier. Inspirational, innovative, creative, they have followers, they get a Nobel Prize for trying
and they know the alphabet. Yes indeed they know the alphabet
you see before you can invent new words you need to know the alphabet first.
Last week I was listening to the radio where they were interviewing people who called themselves leaders during the programme (
), these leaders were talking about “Generation X”, a term that became commonly used after David Coupland wrote this book, then they went on about “Generation Y”. I’ve always thought “Generation Y” actually came form iPhone, iPod, ididyourmom, iPad etc. etc. And that Y happens to be the letter that comes after X was just mere coincidence. But when I heard one of those “leaders” talk about “Generation Z” I knew the alphabet was being followed
How innovative
! How inspirational
! How creative
! What a leaderships skills
Just to follow the alphabet and leading us to another ravine called a crisis
May this simple office bee make a suggestion
Let’s call the generation after Y, G, because this generation really isn’t aware that there was a time with no Google. Yes kiddies
there was a time when t3h intern3tz was Google free
Since Generation X came from (basically) a book and people these days would rather read (micro)BLOGS, I wrote a poem
Generation G
With a capital “G”
No, i
After “Y” there is no “Z”
but the se7enth letter
of the alphabet.
It’s all about me
G thang
G string
G Mail
We will never fail!
G,G,G
it’s the new me, me, me!
For all generations to come,
they’ll never forget I was a “G”
Because we live by the “G”
die by the “G”
With no privacy!
G is for God
G is for Me
Me = God
I can haz Nobel Price for literature nao
