Throughout the course of any given workday, I may interact with coworkers from virtually every age group from Gen X to Elder Boomer who represent a veritable cornucopia of culture, ethnicity, socio-economic stature, race, gender, sexual orientation, belief systems, educational background, and ideologies.
