    To my fellow Gen X’ers…

    Shhh!

    Let someone else deal with the inept on the other end of the phone. Be happy we’re being ignored again.

      Millenial here:

      This is good advice, sage even.

      …

      EDIT:

      I didn’t forget the couple of extremely cool and also very knowledgable Gen X mentors/bosses I had, hahah!

        Nah, they’re the last “boomer” generation. Fed a diet of TV and no internet growing up, but just in time to secure the last slice of normal with owning a home and having a family on a decent income.

                Yeah?

                You don’t have to be born from '46 to '64 to be a boomer, you have to act like a boomer to be a boomer. Being fed a boomer media/social diet growing up tends to make people grow up into boomers.

                  You’re conflating and confusing a term that has existed since the 60’s to describe a time span, with complex societal, economical effects on peoples mindset today.

                  Your inability to describe and explain the things you want to argue is the issue. Repeating the word again and again is not helping.
