[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn. I am in fact a millennial and I generally do start all my emails with a greeting. I always write, "Hello," "Good morning," or "Good afternoon." And then in successive emails I don't write a greeting.

I eschew pleasantries though because I think they're meaningless. Unless this person actually is my friend, I don't care how they are or how their family is. I don't really like mixing work and my home life. I have 3 kids and people tend to treat me differently at work when they know this. My new employer keeps saying things like she knows I have issues with time or when crisis arise. I am keeping quiet, but I never, ever have family issues. I have a nanny, backup care, plus a husband. I get to work on time. [/quote]

Gee golly Karen, sounds gosh awful. Maybe you can try using your words and just let everyone know you're privileged af, and maybe they'll stop trying to have all that annoying empathy for you? Just a suggestion.

A millennial with 3 kids? I didn't think we did that ... [/quote]
