Stereotypes about younger millennial co workers?

[Anonymous]

Millennial birth years: 1981-1996

Boomers and Gen Z are 6-7 and Millenials are
"slackers," "couch potatoes," and "Snail-girl era," who like to do "quiet quitting" and into Resenteeism"

Millennials are mostly middle or upper management at this point. Most of us are diligent workers but value our personal lives more than our responsibility to the corporate man. We miss the days of work happy hours, but we wouldn't go now even if they were still around because we are coaching our kids soccer teams and scout groups.

99 times out of 100, when somebody brings up generations it’s just pointless in-group vs out-group posturing. Younger people have less experience, older people are more set in their ways, and eventually everyone ages out of relevance. You won’t be any different.

Lack of confidence, ability, overly sensitive, confrontational avoidance, weakness of character, spoiled, etc.

Things like that?

+1. The older millennials are not that young anymore.

Right, agreed. But what are the stereotypes about millennials?

They like Mom jeans and Dad jeans. That's all I've got.

The elderly (genx/boomers) are always complaining and hoarding all the opportunities and wealth. Millennials are tired being force to pay for your social security, free healthcare, pensions and watching you waste it all on lavish vacations, home care to extend your low value lives a few extra years on or backs

Millennials are not old enough to been to a real happy hours or company party. 1999 ended with a bang when Time Warner AOL had Aerosmith play their company Xmas party for one million bucks. Internet bubble popped March 2000 followed by 9/11 then financial crisis then the woke era.

Our happy hours were around 30-40 times a year and often ran to late and holiday parties and company picnics were drunk fests with hooking up. Think Wolf of Wall Street.

I been to a few million plus holiday parties but none since 1999.

Speak for yourself. I know plenty of boomers who do not have "free healthcare" and "pensions". In fact nobody has free healthcare unless they are on Medicaid. Medicare Part B (which is going to the doctor, etc.) has premiums. Nursing/home care is far from free and only people on Medicaid might get it "free" (and we are not talking about great nursing homes).

2005 to 2008 i never purchased my own alcohol and I was drunk every night. It was non stop. Then a few years of temperance hit but we still had a good time on the company dime.

There was that brief break. However in 1985 my company had $100,000 a year secretaries on payroll whose only job was to entertain out of town big male clients. We even had some condos we owned near building for the entertaining. if not for the 2,000 counts of mail and wire fraud we still be in business. But we had season tickets, town cars, company accounts, heck even IBM had country clubs owned to take clients.

I recall my old boss way back a women we were all drunk Jeremy’s ale house drinking 32 ounce beers out of foam cups we saw NY Dolls a topless bar had a sign saying girl with worlds largest tits is appearing tonight, she said heck even I would like to see that, we all went. Literally your boss could take whole dept strip club and expense it. And a bunch of women in dept went. At that time SCOREs, type places very common to take clients do happy hours at strip clubs.

The brief 2003-2007 happy hour era I could drop a thousand bucks on my corporate card no problem for a happy hour but not like the past.

I feel the lavish happy hours and office parties ended around 2006 and 2007.
