Agree, especially after the 2024 election.

Because Gen X just doesn’t even show up. At work, we have huge numbers of Gen X but when the boomers retired, none of them applied for supervisory positions. They basically just gave it all to millennials while they leaned out.
We have been told to retire because we are hoarding the positions.

Generally - with many exceptions - Gen X does not want to devote 70 hours a week to your company's quarterly targets. They are... abiding.
Boomers and Millennials seem to be the corporate machines that derive their meaning from office work.

So you are basing your opinion of generations on something that seems particular to your company?

You guys are the ones handing your alpha kids an iPad to keep them quiet in any situation. Gen Z is at least calling you guys out on it. I’m hoping that Gen Z will turn things around!
