[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Gen Z openness about their struggles...many of them openly share their layoffs, disappointments etc with the world. Their feelings are not new. I am 47 and they are saying things I wish I could say loudly when I was laid off in my 20s but couldn't because we viewed corporations as these biiiiiig super important entities that we needed to bow too.

We criticize them a lot but honestly they are not gay off base. We just took crap and keep taking crap. I think I am Gen X right, yeah we are very good at keeping our mouth shut....

IDK I guess the openness is interesting but I also think they just don't realize they're going through . . . life. Plenty of people graduated in the 2000-01 dot com bust or 2008 and couldn't find jobs or got laid off immediately. As for Gen X taking stuff - I'm a millennial but closer to Gen X age - we took stuff bc we wanted to make $$$. I think we realized you go into every work place complaining about every damn thing you didn't like, you were never going to get ahead which unless you came from money you needed to do to be able to buy a house, pay for a wedding, pay off student loans, save for kids' college etc. It's not that we didn't feel slighted the way Gen Z feels slighted but we knew openly complaining wouldn't help and could affirmatively hurt - so we complained privately to friends, spouses etc.[/quote]
