I worked for a couple of boomers especially the liberal/ex-hippie and they are the biggest jerks. When it comes down to taking time off such as vacation, they don't like it even though they take time off themselves.

One boomer I worked for insisted that I show loyalty, etc. ad nauseam but when it was time for layoffs, my name was at the top of the list. This is one of my reasons of my jaundiced view towards "corporate life". That manager also insisted we put in 10 hour days including Friday and we were expected to come in some on weekends. Of course, he put in short hours. I see him walk in about 9:30 am and be out the door at 2:30pm just about everyday with his gym bag. He basically worked 20 hours every week. He also implemented late afternoon mandatory meetings everyday starting at 4:00 pm with his leads just to keep us at work until 6:00 pm. The meetings were worthless and of course, he wasn't there.

Count me as another post-Boomer who doesn't want to hear ANY Baby Boomer lecture me on ANYTHING to do with personal responsibility, career choices, or any other topic that grownups talk about.

I've been cleaning up after Boomers my entire life, and frankly, I'm sick of them. Yes, there are some decent Boomers, but for the most part, their generation has been an absolute pox on the Republic.
