People Are Sharing The Boomer Trends They're Ready To See Go Extinct, And I Don't Disagree
Buzzfeed ^ | 12/1/21 | Shelby Heinrich

1. "The 'customer is always right' excuse, and not allowing employees to adequately defend themselves. The customer is the CUSTOMER. The service you get is a privilege, not a right, and you better believe you can be denied service."

2. "The 'workhorse' mentality they want in employees. My job does not need to be my life when I’m getting paid a Medicare wage. My sanity is worth more to me than my work. Quit asking your employees to give all of their energy to their jobs."

Sounds like a pack of useless gen-z/millennial whining.

Their fault for being viewed as uselass and lazy.
So, they whine about that as well?

I do too, but mostly because I'm highly competitive -- going above and beyond is part of my nature. And, let's be honest, those dreaded Boomers are the ones that appreciate our kind of thinking; the younger gens are, from my experience, the ones that don't get it and take advantage of each other and that's the problem.

Boomers are just a convenient thing for the time being. Wait until it's Gen Ys turn to get it (I'm Gen-X, the generation proudly ignored lol)

“””””Fake news. Reads like a parody written by a boomer imagining how millennials view the world.”””””

Like so much writing today it is just filler, it has no real meaning and isn’t based on any real research or knowledge, it is just writing to fill space, it is just part of the bland machine churning out words for the internet.

Whatever loyalty I had in the work environment was much more toward the people I worked with than toward the company. I'm a mid-boomer, born in 1955, and I retired in 2020, 58 years after starting my very first job.

Just in case this deletes: It's the "Breakfast Club" cast, and the meme text is, "Just remember, for every Boomer that hates a Millennial that, there's a generation in between that hates you both."

I like email because I type about 60 words per minute. When texting, I have to hunt and peck with my index finger, which is maddeningly slow and tedious.

LOL! Yeah, I used to berate my Gen X relatives for being lazy, good-for-nothing slackers who think the world owes them a free ride. Now they all have jobs, families, and are productive members of society.

I think they're only doing it to piss me off. :-(

Most of these are criticisms boomers made of their own parents. Our parents and their siblings would drop in on each other unexpectedly if they were in the area, even though they lived at different ends of the state -- not something I see going on much now, except maybe if people really do live in the same area and are used to it -- and we hated doing yard work.

12. "Supporting a political candidate just because they represent a particular party, regardless of their behavior, and loyalty to that party no matter what. You’re allowed to think a candidate is a piece of garbage. You don’t need to always vote red/blue if that’s not the best candidate."

That doesn't sound like anything Boomers or Xers needed to be told. Tell it to the Millennnials who always vote for the Democrat -- because of abortion.

I think the tweet is probably a reference to Trump, but really, policywise he was better than any Republican candidate in a generation, so why not vote for him?

...but the generation in between...

They are rebelling against traditional values and are progressives!

That’s the generation which continues to be excluded from the estates and wills of boomers and I love reading the stories.

Let’EmBeAngry

I’d rather leave my assets to someone(s) who will value them, not some snot-nosed, progressive, self-entitled brats.

“ It wasn’t stupid.”

It was a hideous criminal waste of human life and treasure. I hope LBJ and Nixons are burning somewhere.

I'm a late boomer, our parents were the greatest generation, what happened, that the next generation are woke little snots who can't get pronouns correct.

I don't blame them for being angry they have a legitimate bitch, they just don't understand why yet. When we were growing up in the 70s the national debt was 1 trillion bucks after 200 years. That's because our predecessors were responsible and wanted a bright future for their offspring.

Then our generation came along and when these kids were born we/US government went crazy and took out credit cards in their names and maxed them out. Now they, the woke little snots owe 32 trillion in debt (with interest) and they have little chance of ever having a standard of living like ours.

The really sad part is that in spending their future money we did not enrich the nation with advanced infrastructure or anything of lasting value, we enriched the world and multinational corporations.

So the woke little snots are screwed any way.

lol Yep! Usually the case with you HTB. ;)

So I went through the rest of this list, and I tracked down a few of the original posts. I swear the AI this wench used didn't know the difference between Boomers and Ys!

These morons are doing what the boomers did, implying their own superiority against the backdrop of their parents. They have no clue that they are their parents. Ignorance is bliss.

As for the one that was gassing on about racism, I’d bet he she or it doesn’t understand that, if she’s White, she is going to be the racist of the future day…whether she likes it or not. The hustlers aren’t ever going to give up the grift. 99 percent of the boomers I’ve known weren’t even remotely racist.

Everything is cause by global warming..

Within the next week another explosive volcano is going to erupt in Iceland. This will toss tons of ash into the atmosphere. It’s gonna be chilly in Europe.

How will Greta deal with that stuff.
