Quote HistoryQuoted: Oh look, another boomer vs everyone else thread. Where a boomer makes an absolutely asinine ridiculous statement. Then everyone who isn’t a boomer uses logic, statistics and personal experience. In both big and small words to try to convince the boomers their wrong. And the year isn’t in fact 1969.

While anyone with a 5th grade reading level will dig through the 9 plus pages and independently conclude the boomer is an absolute fucking retard.

Boomers were the generation that sowed the seeds for liberalism to destroy America. Boomers are running America into the ground today. The younger generations are following their lead. |

it's because kids these days no longer fear a higher power, they have been indoctrinated with the belief they're the top of the food chain.
I am far from religious & probably the least spiritual person you will meet but these children are suffering from the textbook definition of a god complex. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think generalizing an entire generation is not gonna work. I've met people of all ages, races and (both) genders (oh shit now I'm in trouble) that are willing to work hard.  Old boomer here living in a 55 plus golf community and our staff is a variety of ages and I love them. They are cheery and work hard and have to put up with us old geezers not hearing them or forgetting what we ordered. Good part is the bill is automatic (with a tip) so it gets paid regardless.  I suspect if times get really hard the younger generations will suck it up and step up. Hope so. Cause I'm gonna need my diapers changed when I get to hospice.

Quoted: I was talking with a coworker today about not being able to find quality younger applicants/employees. We talked about them not wanting to work hard, lack of a “can do” attitude, won’t work in harsh conditions out doors etc. We also discussed how they all think the world revolves around them, their opinion is the only one that counts and they can voice their opinion whenever they want. A few conclusions: They have never been hungry. They have never been truly worried about where their next meal is coming from. They have never been shown the meaning of excellence in what they do. They have never been encouraged to excel. They have been taught that mediocrity is acceptable. They have never been told NO. They think that everybody must respect their opinion. They think they can say whatever they want whenever they want. They think that they are owed $100k a year just for showing up. A couple of realities why they are like this. Mommy and Daddy never told them NO. Mommy and Daddy never let them fail on their own. Mommy and Daddy never paddled their a$$. They have never tasted their own blood. They have never had to pick their own a$$ up off of the floor when somebody handed it to them. Some of the best advice my Dad ever gave me: Don’t let your mouth write a check your a$$ can’t cash. Boomer copy pasta? If not, it will be.

Here’s one thing I have learned, to teach them a hard lesson, and it seems to effect their work ethic quickly. They have to earn the right to use their cellphone at work. I tell them from the start they can keep their phones on them unless I see them constantly using them. Then their devices get put in time out and they have to earn the right to carry back. They are a huge distraction. I ain’t paying you to text people and stare meaninglessly into your screen of uselessness.
Big daddy work boss here has to teach them life lessons no one else bothered with. I honestly don’t get it. Wtf is in their brains that make them think there is something so important in your cellphone that can’t wait till break, lunch, or after work. |

Hmmm, and people wonder why there's the boomer hate. These guys grew up in the absolute prime of America and then ran up a bunch of debt and effectively destroyed the future of the country, and now they pat themselves on the back and rant daily about how kids today have no gumption.
I'm a millennial and I just lost a 3 year decent job right before Christmas because the company was basically gutted by the boomer owner who wanted to retire and driven to bankruptcy by a combination of incompetence and the owner pulling money out to secure his retirement. Boomers got theirs, we all get shit on
