[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my work, it’s GenX who are completely uninterested in taking over for boomers. When the boomers finally retired, we couldn’t even get GenX to apply for those jobs. So millennials stepped up en masse. They all just want to coast into retirement. [/quote]

I think it was a moment in time. In our 30s, the early 2000s, Gen Xers wanted to take over and be heard. We were finally mature enough, better at tech, etc. But the Boomers, our bosses, then in their 50s still ruled the roost. It was just As It Always Had Been.

Then Millennials come in and are handed entire departments in their 30s, and are bosses of older people.  And of course Gen x is like "whatever"- we tried. But I'm sure it stings a little. [/quote]

We did all the unpaid internships, went to grad school, paid our dues. Now those of us with 20 years experience are stagnated in middle management while millennials and Gen z are promoted over us. The worst in my field (communications) is being lectured on how we must embrace AI and make everything bite sized, digital and brain rot friendly. We are literally being graded on how well and willingly we do this. They think they invented branding and memes (never heard of Marshall McLuhan or took a theoretical class in anything except gender).

We are now being led by the ADHD generation.
