| Millennials are entitled whiners just like Boomers. Zoomers are doers. |
Nah, like the PP I am fine with the millenials. They are good-hearted souls who will change the world. My beef is with both the Greatest Generation and those Zoomers. Greatest Generation-took all the resources and are a nightmare when aging. They are obsessed with aging in place and making life a living hell for their Generation X kids guilt tripping and using every form of manipulation they can to sandwich us into hell. Generation Z/Zoomers need to stop taking selfies long enough to empty their dam voicemails. I think personality disorders are running rampant in that generation because they are so busy trying to look good on IG. I am a fan of TikTok though so they aren't all bad and some are turning in their parents who stormed the capitol. Just empty your voice mail, respect some boundaries and enough with this entitled crap. |
Oh crap I think I meant Silent Generation-they are anything, but silent. They call me at random hours hysterical about things and expect me to jump on it. Then they throw a tantrum when I hire someone to deal with emergencies because they hate strangers. The silent generation is loud, entitled and bat shit crazy or maybe it's just the ones we deal with. |
| Zoomer will change the world? Wow! If only my zoomer DD had the time for changing anything but her hair and the filter on the phone camera! |
Sounds like a parenting issue. |
You must have....toddlers! |
+1. I like you. Maybe there just aren't enough of us to feel like we have any sort of voice. I try not to fall into the "generation war" stereotypes. I do think that when I entered the workforce in the policy world there were tons of silent generation folks still working past traditional retirement age (getting their pensions and a salary) complaining that "younger people" didn't want to take up the torch. Then there were my older boomer bosses who didn't like that younger people made them "feel old" and felt we "lacked passion" as a generation. I generally like my millennial colleagues. |
+1 TY. Agree. |
I think you probably graduated college and got a job at the height of our country's boom job market and got in at least a few years of employment before 9/11 hit. |
Right. Whereas my first day of HS was 9/11. I graduated from college in 2009. The pandemic hit just as my friends and I had started raising kids. I’m not complaining, but for ppl to act like we haven’t had shit thrown at us that has seriously impacted our earning power is a little crazy. |

No, I have a HS senior who does a lot more than take selfies. |
Your main problem is self-centeredness. Do you think that others haven't been impacted by world events? You're not special. |
