[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah baby boomers really have it tough out there.[/quote]

Actually, boomers have it very tough right now.  They are expected to work long hours, they are the sandwich generation, and when laid off, they frequently can't find new work.  [/quote]

Right, but they also labelled a portion of their tax payments as social security but then used that money to fund government services so that they could pay reduced taxes throughout their lives. Now they consider the money they never actually paid into their social security accounts to be an entitlement, and the younger generation will never be large enough or turn out enough voters to change it. So they will be just fine.

In any case, my non-snarky point was that I don't see how some tech guys judging baby boomers for dressing in a stuffy manner is any different from baby boomers judging younger people for not dressing nicely enough. The PP was implying that its age discrimination, and it is not.  Surely if a 30-something decided to move from the tech sector to a law firm and wore a short-sleeve madras shirt to his interview he would not get the job, but he would not be able to sue the law firm for age discrimination.
