Generation X and Small Business

Tammy Erickson's blog Across the Ages has a post on generation X being unhappy with corporate life.  The post lists 10 reasons why Gen X is unhappy.  Not surprisingly, Gen Xers are telling Erickson that they plan to move to entrepreneurial ventures or small companies.  Quote from the post:

"Many of you have told me that you are planning to leave corporate life “soon” – to start entrepreneurial ventures or work for smaller companies – options you feel will suite you better than the corporate roles looming ahead."

Not good news for large corporations.  Already facing a baby boomer brain drain and Gen Y corporate skepticism, losing Gen Xers just as they reach prime management years would be a major talent problem.
