Boomers stand in our way at work…

That is the biggest problem for Gen Xer’s. I am sooooo sick of Boomers sitting in their cushy jobs while we continue to wait to go up the latter. It is an epidemic. All 7 of the Supervisors in my building are 60 and above. They are just waiting....for something....not sure what. They get a pension so what is the problem????????

In the same situation. All 6 of our execs are Boomers. All are stuck in their ways. Don’t want to change, progress as a company. They just collect their comp from a board they put in place and is in on the whole thing.

It’s a little something we call experience and wisdom.

Hint: EARN a promotion. This isn’t the Republican Nomination for President, which goes to the guy whose turn it is. . .

Oh, and retirement age is heading for 72. . .

“while we continue to wait to go up the latter.”

And learn to spell if you think you deserve a promotion, lol.

Jeepers. “ladder”, maybe?

If you can’t spell laDDer, maybe that has something to do with why you haven’t moved up it yet. I’m guessing most of the Boomers above you can.

” I am sooooo sick of Boomers sitting in their cushy jobs while we continue to wait to go up the latter.”

Feel entitled much?

Cushy job sitting in a chair? Somehow I missed out on that one.

Here’s a suggestion: get a job that’s hard on your body and where you get dirty and sweaty every single day.

The boomers who have been doing those jobs for years aren’t sitting around in their cushy chairs like you dream of doing, they are retiring as soon as they can.

But then somehow I don’t get the impression that hard work of that sort is what you are willing to do.

I am head of production at the Soylent Green factory. Perhaps you could FReepmail me to discuss this further.

Whiner needing a waaaaaamulance? Or a forgotten sarcasm tag?

Hard to tell.

But then, if you are trying to climb the corporate latter, that might be part of your issue. Spelling counts in corporate America.

I’m sure it was just your smartphone autocorrecting incorrectly, but I couldn’t resist.
