This is something I got at work. It is supposed to help us 'relate' to coworkers from different generations by telling us what their values are.

Your thoughts?

I guess I'm kinda of aqua - I don't get along with the "reds" or the "red-yellows" I was told

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

So how do you use that? Do you go around and ask people "so what color are you?" in meetings? Maybe even put their colors on the freakin' agenda so everyone "knows" who to sit next to?

If I knew the answer to that I would work in the Human Remains - I mean Human Resources department

Colour management? Intruiging. HR seem to have way too much time on their hands.

I think you'll probably leave work in concrete boots if you try to relate to collegues based on those personality profiles though, I mean...well, really!
