[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banking. We just cleared out everyone 55+. Generous buyouts. But, we can replace 250k boomers with 75k millennials and even when we only get 2 yrs it makes sense. [/quote]

But! Do you know how much cost a fully furnished "cry room" "safe spaces" and lifetime supply
of "weighted blankets" AND! one " cuddle me = my boss is mean = I need a hug" therapist  per person per on payroll?

you made very POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR business decision.  :lol: [/quote]
+ a million. [/quote]

If you think millennial employees are fragile, wait till you see Gen. Z.[/quote]

I'm 40 and have managed 10+ people older than me and 15+ people younger than me  I will say, no Gen Z direct reports yet.

My experience is that Boomers are WAY more "fragile" and entitled on the whole than the Millennials I've managed. It still comes down to the individual, but yeah, if all I have to go on is age for a role that just needs a few years experience - I'd take a 28 year old with 3 years experience over a 55 year old with 30 years experience. I've also found younger people to be much more resourceful. The Boomers expect everything to be hand fed/taught to them. Again, on the whole - have had some awesome older employees and some annoying younger ones too.

A lot of things that get attributed to generational differences is actually just stage of life, too. [/quote]
