[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I see what you did there!  As a fellow Gen Xer, what we understand that Boomers and Millenials don't, is that there is no real end-game at work.  We won't get a g old watch and a pension at the end of 30 years.  We are there to do our jobs, get paid, and figure out the best way to take care of ourselves, our families, and our future.  I will work until I have enough money to set my kids up in life and have enough to live on for the rest of mine.  Not a minute longer.  For most of us, work is a means to an end.  We've got enough interests outside of it to keep us occupied.

This is a wonderful explanation of how I, and many GENX'ers feel.

Another Gen X-er here-I totally agree!!

On another note, I'm an RN and while my millennial and Gen Z cohorts are admittedly faster than I am with learning new technologies a lot of them are addicted to their phones. I know I sound like an old lady haha but TikTok should be saved for lunch/break times. [/quote]

+1 .  Another RN here.  Many of my coworkers can’t take their eyes off their phone (not talking about patient care time). But when a coworker or Dr comes in to talk, they don’t even lift their eyes.  An older coworker does it too. I’m not old fashioned, but seriously phones during work time (especially as a nurse) should only be used for emergency. Tons of instagram, TikTok viewing going on.
