On The Watch Watch

  Yes, this is about those who wear watches and those who don't.  The news from Gen Y/Millenials is they don't wear them even if Auntie Joan bought one for graduation. I see it everywhere. Ask them for the time and they pull out their phones which seem to be velcroed to their belts. So now we have a verifiable visual...no watches for the Young Gens. Not so fast.
   I mentioned this observation, oft-repeated by the Multi-Gen experts, to my thirty year old computer geek friend who works in a small and growing business of about twenty five employees. He said that there was much truth to the Cell Phone Time observation for younger employees."But Susan, it's not true for the young employees who are in management nor for the executives. They wear watches... nice ones. The executives do as well."
   A newish book that talks about how NOT to appear old mentioned the Watch issue. Lose the watch, lose the aging. IF only it were that easy!
   Now I'm on the watch "watch". So if your goal is to grow a career, move into management and become an executive, look around. And check out the time on your watch!
