I would state there two types of Gen Xers that I deal with. The domesticated ones, who entered the corporate structure and the business world. This type tends to be, as you say, very easy to deal with. Although you do have to watch them, as many inherited a very cut throat tendency towards co-workers (who in my mind should be allies). They had to fight to get into an over-saturated job market, and many stayed there by screwing over co-workers.
In my other post, I was more referring to the Gen Xers outside of the business world. These people landed into the job market during the recession. Many are still, like I said, very edgy. I wouldn't say they power trip in any way though. More just ongoing juvenile behaviour.
