[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen X is an interesting bunch I am a boomer. I had a Gen X guy wishing for me who was 10 years younger. I had a pretty big job at retail me and he was second in charge. I literally promised to him when retired and setting him up to take it. I am retiring at 67 normal retire by age he said I don’t plan in working last 55. That was 10 years ago.

I landed another great job but now 61 and I have a second in charge 52 and another behind at 45 I said I am retiring at 67. The 52 year old said I am retiring in 3-4 years and the 45 year old said I want to call it quits in. Prorate by 50.

My office is literally filled with boomers set to retire in corner offices and people won’t set up. I guess Gen Z will take my job in 2028.

You guys literally burned the Gen X generation. You guys worked an easy pace without emails and messaging - 9-5, SAH spouse, cheap college, etc. that way you can last long in the marathon that is a career. Sky high student debt, 60 hour work weeks or more, increase of work pace and density/productivity and dual income households (now required) fell onto the shoulders of younger Gen X and Millennials. They’re burned out by 55. Don’t you see what you caused?[/quote]
