New York: Most bosses do not hold Generation Y workers - those between ages 22 and 29 - in a very high regard, a new U.S. study has claimed.

While workers of this age group feel their bosses offer them experience, wisdom and a mentoring opportunity, their feelings are not reciprocated.

Around 51 percent managers said Gen Y workers have unrealistic compensation expectations and 47 percent believe younger workers have a poor work ethic.

Forty-six percent managers also said Gen Y workers are "easily distracted".

According to the research, social media also muddies the relationship between bosses and their younger employees, 'BusinessNewsDaily' reported.

Only 14 percent of managers said they are comfortable connecting with their employees on Facebook, while 24 percent said they are comfortable connecting on LinkedIn.

Workers, on the other hand, are more comfortable about connecting with bosses on social media platforms. Gen Y workers are also more comfortable about making introductions through social media than bosses.
