Yeah. I was told Gen Z mocks millennials for sending memes like that on Slack or whatever. They prefer giant emoji strings to make their points.

I got 27 -30 emojis and a few memes as the response from coworkers. No one wrote a written response.

Now I look like an old outdated dinosaur 🦕 with pleated pants and a double breasted suit!



So you are basically unhappy they you didn’t get enough “likes”?

This peak Gen Z, to the point I think it’s performative satire.

Especially when using one of the definitive Gen X movies, Office Space (which in todays connected, lavishly paid tech worker, working remotely in pajamas is like the antithesis of todays office).

It’s great to leave on a good note, but your attention really should be on your new job.

I will be the dissenting opinion and say that I have received enormously helpful advice here. The thread I started had lots of dissenting opinions and I consider it a buyer-beware situation. THANK YOU from someone who has never had any mentors in corporate and no family members

If you measure your success with the amount of moron feedback you get, I don't know what to tell you, OP. Just rock on in your alternate universe!

Yeah dont get advice from this place, lol. If only I could regale you with the long line of horrific advise I've gotten from people on DCUM. It's mostly disgruntled/rageful boomers and disaffected, out of it Xers who are zero in touch with the modern world. Use it to source opinions but realize 95% of the people here are pathologically crazy and that's why theyre on here 24/7

Yes, everyone should realize that. People here don’t know more than the few sentences typed and have their own perspectives.

I got terrible advice here the first time I posted and I’m so glad I ignored it. You cannot take this place seriously.
