The Zs are the first ray of hope in a long time. They’re like fully actualized Gen X. They’re doing their own thing collectively.
Millennials just needed to be blamed for everything that the Boomers and Gen Xers did wrong first.
As a millennial, everything has always been my fault anyway. Glad to help the younger generation how I can.
I mean honestly, I sort of see my role at work as preparing the future management for Gen Z.
I was already getting the blame, might as well have fun with it.
Plus I always get the messages after teams meetings: "holy shit, you're like the first person I've ever known to use a meme correctly and professionally. "
I think :"Damn. I'm an effective communicator. "
Hmm. We are praise based.
Gen-Xer here. I feel like a lot of us tried repeatedly to do the right thing, but we got constantly told to shut the fuck up by a lot of the boomers. And as they vastly out-numbered us and held most of the power, eventually we gave up.
I'm glad to see younger generations with more authority and bigger numbers trying to do the right thing. Godspeed.
My impression is that Gen x was a counter reaction to boomers and lashed out but boomers had too much power so it ended up being unfocused and chaotic. Millennials saw that chaos as was like this is all fucked but can we try and make things just a little bit better, we just want to survive. Then Gen Z sees all the bullshit and is like this all sucks, we're just going to do our own thing. Kinda feel like gen z is doing what we wish we could do if there was less societal pressure to follow a life plan that doesn't work.
