and now they feel entitled to have their job for life.

Entitled? No, that word was unheard of until your generation came along.

I'm not a boomer -- they never bothered to name my generation -- but I know that "boomers" understand the concept of "work."

Bull hockey. I heard too many boomer conversations and read too many Boomer writers to know that’s a load. Alot of boomers think they are the focal point of the history of Western civilization. I am a child of, worked with, and dated boomers and am well versed in what I speak.

Some of the boomers know how to work. Alot of them were AT work 16 hours a day and worked 1/2 that. Alot got paid way more than they were worth for doing 1/2 time. Schooling was cheap, you could be trained on the job, there were more jobs than people to fill them when the boomers got out of school, and alot of jobs paid well thanks to the unions till they got greedy.

And I also remember hearing and reading boomers complaining about the older generations ‘being in the way’. Wasn’t that the essence of the 60’s?

A large majority of people born since WWII have had it pretty good. I’m willing not to point fingers if they aren’t.
