Gen Z crying about having to work 9-5

So when boomers complain about lazy Gen Z, it’s hard not to roll your eyes; like yes Beatrice, you work 40 hours a week and 20 of them is figuring out how to edit a PDF for docusign while your millenial boss quietly asks your Gen Z coworker to just “do it and send it me directly”.

So you can create a signature page. But you have no idea how to do the deal or how to execute it. You are soon to take over the world!

Or talk to a co-worker…

So witty! Your younger coworkers must be so chastened by those hard-hitting zingers!

If you are fortunate to remain healthy and live long enough, then some day that will be you. I know you swear it won't, but I'm confident those boomers thought the same.

I certainly will! But unlike boomers, I won’t be deluded enough to think my “40 hour week” doesn’t actually represent half the productivity of my younger cohort who make 3/4 of my salary. The fact that boomers don’t recognize the audacity of their “hard work” claims when everyone around them is forced to manage their technical incompetencies is a symptom of the hopelessness of that entire generation. But yes, we will continue to listen to you blather about lazy Gen Z and hopefully you can continue your “hard” work of figuring out Excel spreadsheets while we just quietly finish the job.

I LOVE how Gen X doesn’t even exist in your little dream worlds. Just like we Gen Xers were told growing up: You are just not going to matter. No one cares! In our younger years, we were upset, but now we can just sit back and laugh!

Gen X was the beginning of the end. First generation to be lazier and lower work ethic next to boomers and silent generation.

Gen X is an interesting bunch I am a boomer. I had a Gen X guy wishing for me who was 10 years younger. I had a pretty big job at retail me and he was second in charge. I literally promised to him when retired and setting him up to take it. I am retiring at 67 normal retire by age he said I don’t plan in working last 55. That was 10 years ago.

I landed another great job but now 61 and I have a second in charge 52 and another behind at 45 I said I am retiring at 67. The 52 year old said I am retiring in 3-4 years and the 45 year old said I want to call it quits in. Prorate by 50.

My office is literally filled with boomers set to retire in corner offices and people won’t set up. I guess Gen Z will take my job in 2028.

Please, can there be some minimum communication standards on DCUM. How on earth do you have a "pretty big job in retail" when you literally cannot write a single coherent sentence. Do you even understand what you wrote?

So, you are saying that boomers worked harder than the silent generation? You worked harder than people who had to survive the great depression and World War II?

If you call dropping acid and attending Woodstock "working"...maybe you did.

I see what you did there! As a fellow Gen Xer, what we understand that Boomers and Millenials don't, is that there is no real end-game at work. We won't get a gold watch and a pension at the end of 30 years. We are there to do our jobs, get paid, and figure out the best way to take care of ourselves, our families, and our future. I will work until I have enough money to set my kids up in life and have enough to live on for the rest of mine. Not a minute longer. For most of us, work is a means to an end. We've got enough interests outside of it to keep us occupied.
