The generation divide often seems greatest at work.

The workplace is one of those environments where people who would never usually cross paths get thrown together to interact for eight hours a day, whether they like it or not. While this state of affairs is notorious for causing some friction, it is also a great way to expand your anthropological knowledge if you look at it the right way. Here are a bunch of individuals from walks of life that you may not be exposed to by choice, but they could teach you a thing or two about where they're coming from. It can be as interesting as it is annoying.

One of the most intriguing differences in the average workplace is age. Plenty of offices right now have employees who range from boomers to Gen Z, and it is fair to say that these generations don't always see to eye to eye. However, with the right attitude, a workplace like this can be a good place for people to try and understand those age groups that are older or younger than them. There is no need to be divided and bitter all of the time, not least when there is an opportunity to build bridges.
