It’s funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren’t going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic.
Also, sure Millenials and Gen-Z are “choosing” to go back. They aren’t compelled in any way. Right.
The only thing that stopped us taking over was being outnumbered, and that’s changing fast.
I’m rooting for y’all. I consider myself to be a decently successful person, and behind my success at multiple pivotal moments, was an influential Gen X person supporting and/or vouching for me.
Thanks!
We had to learn altruism to survive the neglect, so our parents accidentally trained us not to pull up the ladder like the Boomers. Lord of the Flies debunked.
To be honest the neglect was better than when they did pay attention, for all we complain about it. No parenting was better than shitty parenting.
I found star trek TNG as a role model but also Beavis and butthead trained me. I mean we lived when ypu could pick up a phone daily random digits and prank a stranger, we were invisible when we wanted to be.
