They really are absolutely horrible. [/quote]

I feel the opposite: they see their parents working their ass off, for not much. They figure they don't want to be working hard to enrich someone else.[/quote]

They were raised by cynical slacker GenX who never got to advance to leadership because boomers never left. They know they won’t have a chance in career advancement between old boyism, classism, and the huge Millenial population which will be similarly entrenched at the top. [/quote]

Gen X was a lot more lazy which is real reason. [/quote]

GenX saw  all their parents get ambushed by layoffs and the resulting wave of divorces. They understood the golden age of stable jobs was gone forever, and Welch capitalism was the law of the land. [/quote]

Not true at all. I managed tons of these “kids” over the years. They are all pretty much identical.

First mainly dual income generation
First involved Dad generation
First WLB generation

As such they were less devoted to work and worked less hours. Which is actual reason they could not knock boomers out of jobs

Back in 2016 I was job hunting and got an amazing role that required whole family relocation and longer hours. I noticed who senior mgt team was nearly all boomers and staff nearly all younger single millennials.

Gen X at the perfect age being born 1965 to 1980 were between 36 and 51 to grab these very high paying roles with promotions. Yet they did not. Most had working spouses, hurdle to relocation, involved Dad coaching sports or has hobbies did not want to work the hours. Did not want to uproot family.

Meanwhile my Boomer co-workers all had SAH wives, most had no close friends or hobbies outside work, not involved kids activities. How can you when you are out of house 7-7 everyday.

Gen X did not go for these jobs and quite frankly elder milenials also.

My last start up was 95 percent kids single under 30 and grownups 55-67 in charge. Todays 30-55 year old is not career focused and Gen X was never career focused. Look at Jamie Dimon can’t find anyone in a 350,000 person company with his work ethic [/quote]
