My Baby Boomer mom says the same thing. She and another co-worker are often shocked at what their younger co-workers’ attitude and sheer laziness. The younger ones do, however, know the latest lingo and catch phrases so they present themselves as knowledgeable and superior to their supervisors.
I was raised differently. I share nothing in common with this generation but for the time period that I was birthed in.
Do I have to apologise on behalf of my generation?
(I apologise in advance if this sounds arrogant—even I cannot stand the attitudes and behaviour of my peers. Working with them is a nightmare; I’m about to start another job!)
“The younger ones do, however, know the latest lingo and catch phrases so they present themselves as knowledgeable and superior to their supervisors.”
And when that doesn’t work, they lie through their teeth with complete confidence that everyone else but themselves are complete idiots and will have no idea they’re simply making up everything they say. I’ve seen this over and over again.
