Current Events > Boomers at work were talking about how they have a better work ethic than us

(+) Yeah! (+)

That they worked much harder than we do.

I want to put all the boomers onto a spaceship and blast them off into the sun.

That would take a bit of work, I don't think your generation is up to it.

They're full of shit and soon enough they'll all be slowly withering away in old age homes as their children ignore them.

I'm not too concerned about what "boomers" think of the young folk.

Worked with a baby boomer that had one of the worst work ethics I've encountered. Constantly demanded to lower the standards for work reviews & incentive programs as well. She just couldn't keep up, especially compared to the younger and more skilled employees.

To be honest, I think they are right. A lot of the older folk care a lot more about work.

Just like this generation. And every generation before and every generation after.

Fuck that rhetoric, we are objectively a better generation, they're a bunch of consumerist morons that voted in Trump, we're the ones giving a shit about income equality and supporting progressives like Bernie.

Baby boomer: *Sits at a desk job in front of a computer for 20 years* Help what is this why do letters come up when I press these buttons

Nope. Nixon got voted in and he was shady from the start. A actor got voted in as president. Every generation has it's worst and every generation never wants to take responsibility and just blames the generation before. It's how American works. And not seeing that is willful ignorance.

The boomer responsible for shipping and invoicing keeps a magnifying glass on her desk to read her monitor better.

They are absolutely useless

What the fuck are you talking about dude, they're the ones that voted in Reagan and nuthug him.

The Greatest Generation literally saved the world from Nazis, the Boomers were a bunch of consumerist idiots that spent too much and did too much coke. Fucking fake hippies.

TC tagged as racist troll, nothing to see here.

I hate that generation, despite my parents being part of it (my mother and father didn't adopt me until they were 40 so they basically skipped a generation as far as raising children goes).

Sick of hearing about these dusty old fucks complain about millenials, like what fucking damage have we done to the earth?
---

I used to think crabby people like Clint Eastwood's character from Gran Torino were the problem but it's the generation that came after them that's the real problem (the ones who grew up during the 50s).
---

To be fair, there are plenty of baby boomers who are hard workers, and there are plenty that have just given up and are lazy and just want to get by.

The same can be said about the current generation. There are some hard workers, and there are some who just don't give a fuck and don't want to work.

Answer no and you're a slacker who doesn't want to look for work.

Answer yes and you're a slacker who is getting paid to do nothing.

Loaded question, get lost.

im at work and on gamefaqs yet i still manage to be the most productive one in my department

Like how they were able to buy houses with their 0 experience jobs and got benefits as well. If only we worked harder.

I am not saying you can't. I am just saying we now have phones and internet that can easily distract us while we are at work. Boomers did not.

Does that mean they had/have better work ethic? Who knows, but the way people instantly got offened is telling.

im unable to see the connection here

They obviously worked harder than you, since all you do is shit post on CE about how unhappy you are

Well yeah he is probably right. Boomers are the generation that circle jerked corporations and jobs during their era.

I'm not staying over my attended shift.

I'm not coming in on my days off.

I'm not putting myself in a dangerous position because the boss said so.
---

Boomers: your generation is lazy and entitled and has a crappy work ethic
Millenials: But see, here are facts and statistics showing that objectively we have things considerably harder across the board than you ever did
Boomers: but iphones and avocado toast

etc.

Do the majority of millennials actually get new iPhones every year or is that another boomerism

The majority of phone companies offer free hardware upgrades on an annual or bi-annual basis, so basically this is a true thing that happens but boomers like to hang on to for ammunition because it's comforting to think that the reason kids are staying at home with the parents is because they're spending all their money on fancy smartphones.

Whenever I hear bad stuff being said about millenials, I just say "sorry" and generally it turns out the speaker didn't know I counted because they don't actually know who they're talking about.

It's a confirmation bias thing. Basically anyone between the age of 22 and 35 is a millenial, but the way people speak you'd think millenial just means "that barista guy with the annoying hipster glasses who's too old to be working in hospitality and is a liberal, probably".

free hardware upgrades

Is that actually true in most csses or did most people just not ask what happens if they don't upgrade at that time?

I know my plan wanted me to upgrade like a year ago but I didn't because I paid attention when I signed the contract and am now enjoying paying $30 less per month.

These generalizations are really stupid

I didn't even know such upgrades were offered. I usually just get a two-year-old phone model every three or four years because, aside from standard phone functions, the only thing I use them for is LLSIF and GameFAQs. Nothing that really requires anything other than battery life.

And completely and utterly off-topic but I always need to stop and think for a second when seeing "bi-annual" and whether it means twice a year or once every two years.

Oops. Bi annual means twice a year, I meant to say every second year. According to google and wiki, "Biennial" is once every two years.

The upgrade is usually on the proviso that you extend your contract a minimum of two years.
