Ditto!

I do workplace research. Generational boundaries are not actually widely agreed upon and get confused with cohort effects and maturational (life stage/experience) effects. There is no significant difference in things like workplace attitudes across “generations.” It is all click bait, though I find it deeply compelling click bait whenever the point of the article is that Gen X is best. ;-) Wanting to treat others in non-damaging ways and having work life balance are certainly things I appreciate! Employees in the workplace here in the US have really had the short end of the stick for a long time and seem to take it for granted, so more humane treatment seems desirable.

You might argue that Plato was witnessing the decline of the classical period in Greece. So he might have had a point.

I agree, but I also feel for the millennials who have even less security that we did/do at their age. I owned a house by 30–how many millennials can do that? So, yes, it sucks for us, but my solution is to try to form an alliance with the millennials and Gen Zers. It’s not us vs. them. It’s us vs. the Boomers who screwed us all over. #notallboomers, I know, but as a generation, not great.

Another Gen Xer and agree. I think Gen X really appreciates Gen Z because they are our kids–we raised this generation. They are giving voice to the things we felt but felt we couldn’t do anything about.
I love millenials too. All “young people” (I’m 45) give me so much hope and energy about the future. Keep up the good fight.
