[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a mix of a lot of things.  I'm an older millennial and participation trophies and all that were part of my childhood.   We didn't do homecoming kings/queens or vote on any yearbook superlatives so that kids feelings wouldn't get hurt.

There is good and bad with what I see happening on SM.   The whole "cancel culture" is pretty ridiculous.  People take things out of context, dig up things from the past, or don't allow you to make one bad choice/mistake.

People also have fake outrage/hurt etc in order to go viral.   Saw one recently where she made up an entire story of an interaction she had between two other shoppers and her TikTok got a ton of views.  Then the story fell apart and oops, turns out it was made up.

But, there is good too.  People don't put up with stuff as much.   The "be quiet and don't create a scene" is going away. When I was waitressing, I was told to "take it as a compliment" that I was being hit on or "just be polite about it, don't upset the customer".  Which , looking back is pretty ridiculous that I had to put up with customers hitting on me and at times groping me and was told to be nice and not upset them.  Now, it's much more acceptable to call people out on that and not put up with it. That doesn't make anyone sensitive or dramatic.

As for your law associate, I have a hard time believing him.  He either got reported by someone for legitimate reasons and now holds a grudge or he's one of those male jerks in the workplace. [/quote]

You’re definitely a millennial. 🙄[/quote]
