Employee Evolution has been up and running now for little over a month. In that time, we’ve been lucky enough to receive mass amounts of support from not only Millennials, but from Boomers and X-ers in the blogosphere. I’d especially like to thank Penelope Trunk at Brazen Careerist for giving us the weekly Twenty-Something slot on her site every Monday. Keep an eye out for the next addition as you head back to work next week.

As I look back at some of the first blogs we’ve posted, I couldn’t help but notice our three initial goals:

1) Confirm our belief that the current corporate system is antiquated and the vast majority of Millennial workers will not simply adapt.

2) Educate our Millennial peers in the workforce and those soon to enter the workforce about the current explosion of information regarding our generation’s extremely different attitudes about work.

3) Create an anonymous dialogue between our generation and the corporations struggling to understand our attitudes about work.

Call me an optimist, but for a month’s worth of effort, I’d say we had some tremendous success. The dialogue between our writers and readers has been phenomenal, we’ve uncovered some fascinating information and even a few corporations have taken notice. Not too bad for two guys with an idea and very limited resources, right? I guess it just goes to show how technology opens up so many doors and the world is truly becoming a much smaller place.

Looking forward, I can see two things happening with Employee Evolution:

1) We remain unchanged sustaining our steady readership with little escalation toward our grand objective.

2) We continue to take things to the next level, gain a great audience day-by-day and truly have an influence in the way we work.

The second outcome depends highly on our commitment to the cause, and to that end, we whole-heartedly swear our allegiance. But there’s a second factor that’s just as important in an active movement, its followers…

We have some great readers who challenge us to think every day with there intellectual thought and we thank you for that. If we didn’t have you, then what the hell are we even doing? We hope that as we continue to write, you continue to read, and we encourage you to tell others to read too. To take this idea above and beyond what we initially hoped it would be, it’s going to take an army. So if nothing else, send our link to people you know – a peer at work, a friend from school or even a parent who might have an interesting take on what we discuss. Once we’ve planted those thousands of seeds, we’ll have the strength of numbers that will take us to the mainstream where our voices can’t be ignored.

Thanks again for your continued support! See you on Monday.
