[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hear it in anyone over the age of about 28. It's actively harming careers. As a man I can't speak up because it sounds sexist but hopefully some of the older millenial and gen x women will say something.[/quote]

I'm a millennial woman and I do have something to say about this.

You know what's harming our careers? Sexist mouth-breathing men like you who look for any reason to dismiss the intellect of a female colleague.

If you think vocal fry is annoying, I can guarantee you also sound like a total idiot in meetings. :)[/quote]

Sorry frog voice. I’m a Gen X woman and you’re the one with the vocal problem. You guys subsconciously think that it makes you sound intelligent and perhaps older, but it’s the opposite. [/quote]

+1 Another Gen X woman who thinks you sound dumb, PP.[/quote]

Why are you falling for that dumb trap of generation vs. generation? Grow up. [/quote]

Because I’ve honestly never heard anyone over 35 speak in that very particular way. It is generational. And it’s annoying to me. I’m sure I have my own habits and tics that are annoying to younger generations in the office and I’m sure they wouldn’t hesitate to bring them up in an anonymous forum. It’s fine.[/quote]

They might complain that you're a judgmental dope, but that certainly isn't a generational thing. [/quote]
