+1000! Did SNL realize such a fantastic discussion would ensue based on their hilarious video?

Boomers, take a look at this article and see if you disagree.

I don’ know. It’s my gen x parents that are selfish.

Nice try, boomer.

Are you kidding me, it was hilarious! It's time for Boomers to be able to take a little joke, especially when so much of it rings true

Do you say that to your Black friends when White performers dress up like them and make "a little joke"?

Yeah the more I think about this, the more I realize that that SNL skit is somewhat similar to an old-time minstrel show. Non-boomers dressed up as boomers, making fun of old people.

WTF??

I see plenty of younger folks going’s nuts of what crap to put in Easter baskets and multiple trips to Disney with matching shirts that get worn once.

The training I sat through had an interesting bit about the rewards each generation finds most motivating. The generation before Boomers valued security over all, the Boomers value status, older Gen X value knowledge, younger Gen X and older Gen Y value inclusion, and younger Gen Y value freedom.

That is interesting. I think I mostly buy it; seems pretty accurate.

+1 (older Gen X)

Medium-range Gen X here and jesus, I'm just happy I finally paid off my stupid student loans! I don't need much anything else. Inclusion, knowledge, whatever. Well, a bit of money for retirement would be good.

As are selfishness, failure to protect the environment, and general sense that public goods (land, public services, etc) are to be used up by them without thought to leaving anything for other people."

I hope your company has a great legal team. If they officially supported this training they are supporting age discrimination. If younger generations value "knowledge, inclusion" then someone younger should have stood up and said NO STEREOTYPES are acceptable including those related to age.
