I have sat patiently by and watched the millennial and X gens come into the commercial construction industry as they graduated college, and took over management positions from the old school people. One thing most of them have in common is a distinct lack of having a set of stones for any conversation, either face to face or on the phone, when it comes to business dealings. If it's the slightest bit confrontational forget it. Now they have a large set of stones when it's an email, but they melt in a face to face conversation. And if you leave a voicemail over an issue that does not benefit their position in some way, most likely you'll never get a return call. That's the rule more than the exception IME.
THat's a fine observation. But when you started there was no email or voice mail.Everything was done face to face.
Your like a cowboy stating that these cars are whizzing around too fast. You want your horse back.
If you had Email available I imagine you would treat it much like everyone does today!
Are behavior is not unique.It did not form from thin air. It evolves from previous generations.
