I'm a millennial and I hate email, but to be fair I also hate slack

There are likely studies regarding how age cohorts adopt and use technology, and maybe even some discussion about trends in workplace culture based on age group dominance; but I am curious where the research actually lands.

In the case of the latter I would assume there are too many variables to land on solid conclusions.

Definitely nothing that should be chewed up and spit out onto a PowerPoint presentation crafted by HR.

There are a million other things that could be presented to encourage better working relationships and understanding between coworkers that don't require this weird generational astrology nonsense that can be seen in OP's image.

I always love the participation trophy point like I was 8 years old I didn't have a say in whether or not I received a trophy that was the baby boomer parents.

Boomers: "C'mon you lazy fuckers! Save money! But Houses!"

Millenials: "You pay me a ham sandwich every 8 hours... and you want 500% equity in your aging home... how the fuck is that supposed to work"

Boomers: "You kids can't handle criticism, and if you want to blame me for your problems, I'm not going to hear it."

Oh, this is supposed to be serious? I would be laughing hysterically if this came up in a training. It sounds like zodiac signs.

"expert" = fucking twat

By job standards, when you are hired somewhere, you become an expert day 0. Even with 0 knowledge.

EDIT: As per your job title that could be "Yoda Expert" and not per a dictionary

This was so well documented that any other interpretation for gen x can immediately be dismissed.

What a surprise, that's what millennials were called when I entered the workplace and what Gen Zers are called now. It's almost like when you enter an industry fresh out of college you have less experience than those who have been working in that industry for many years

Actually Gen X goes 'meh..' shrug

It's hard to believe a boomer would write such kind words about millennials though

Probably Boomer. Xers are a lot more jaded and cynical and sarcastic. This would be cringe to them.

If it was Gen x they probably would have just said "fuck off" for the whole slide

Nah Gen X doesn’t give a shit. We take care of our shit, and we accept people as they are. We don’t judge and we don’t snark like this because it requires valuable energy that we’d rather use smoking weed.

And why it sells like shit to everyone but the wealthy Xers and back.

Though you can beat a religious drum pretty damn hard.

Are millennials entitled or are boomers just spineless bootlickers?

Or wait I know: trying to ascribe traits to a group of people based on their age is fucking stupid.

"based on stereotypes that I don't agree with and are totally not true... you may not be a good driver"

"Oh god, am I a woman?"

Also nationalities or religions.

*gets popcorn ready

If you are at least 40 years old (or anyone really in your company) can document even 1 instance where something felt off, have this slide saved, this has federal age discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen.

Wait this is a class in a school?

It's not really about trying to get them to do the right thing. It's more about just trying to make them do shit at all

You measure butt to tip!

All these lazy Gen Alphas pooping their pants and asking their parents for handouts, most of them aren't even self sufficient and still live at home with their parents

If they're at the start of the generation? I dunno maybe some arithmetic? Phonics if they're lucky?

Watch TikTok, eat hot chip, and lie.

Go to school.

They’re 10 at most, so… go to school? Play games?

Not much considering they're not even teens yet

Man, it's really dumb that some marketing executive

It was coined by author Douglas Copeland in his novel Generation X: A Tale for an Accelerated Culture. The book provided an ironic look at the culture of the time, and even coined the term "McJob" for low-wage dead-end jobs, much to McDonald's chagrin.

It reminds me that sometime in the mid-nineties the media somehow decided to stop giving scandals their own relevant name and started calling everything something-gate. I'm blaming Fox News since they got started right around that time.

There is some overlap I assume. My parents are both Boomers despite my Dad being born before in 1944.

I was born in 81 and graduated in 2000 and I feel more like a Millennial

Meanwhile, I was born in 82 and am 100% millennial. For me it feels like the defining thing is how early you got into technology.. We didn't have a lot of money when I was young, but my dad was still into gadgets, so we had early computers, cell phones (when they were basically backpacks - lol), etc. I was one of the first people I knew with internet access and basically lived online all through high school.

It’s easy! Just get a job and pay off your house, then sell it for 2 million like I did.

This is it - mine mine mine is the boomer mantra. The worst. Not all of them, but for the most part. Very selfish and no concern for future generations.

boomers are the definition of "born on third, thinking they hit a homerun". they enjoyed all the post-ww2 social policies that aimed to rebuild the world and rewrite society with a "never again" ethos, only to devote their lives to tearing it all down. all their success was built off the backs of hard work that preceded them but they told themselves it was their own 'rugged individualism' that was the true key to their success. the first generation of americans ever to leave their children in a worst economic position than themselves and, not only do they refuse to accept responsibility for it, they'll actually blame millenials/zoomers for not digging themselves out

That is the kindest thing I've ever seen a boomer write about Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z....... But that last part

I was gonna ask if this was pointing out harmful stereotypes, but this was intended to teach harmful stereotypes?

Dafuq.

Report this bullshit all the way up.

The youngest of those don't even have a personality yet, definitely just lumping kids together

Even so this would still be hostile and at the very least unethical if they’re particularly targeting/ singling out a single group of people and making them feel unwelcome and less than their peers in some way for an aspect of themselves that’s out of their control.

Judge people by their credentials and the work they do. This star sign lore they made up about each generation is cringe as if we all fall into pokedex entrys. If the company chooses to hire young people who have these “special” traits as the future of their company than who they really need to keep on eye on are their recruiters.
