It's funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren't going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic.

Also, sure Millenials and Gen-Z are "choosing" to go back. They aren't compelled in any way. Right.

How are you all so wrapped up in fake generational war ?? What the fuck , you’re all mental.

I agree that the generational mud slinging is a waste of energy and meant to distract. The entire narrative around generational divide is created and pushed by corporate media. It's the same story over and over, sow a social divide and keep the "have nots" infighting while the "haves" rob us blind. And the significant majority of us are not in the latter group and never will be no matter how much we fund our 401k and save.

Downvoted for the truth. Not that I necessarily agree with the headline, but a 1%er Gen Z kid does a million times more harm than any poor Boomer ever did across their lifetime.

Any boomer's lack of participation in their generation's fuckery is comparable to said Gen Z 1%er acting a fool insofar as environmental detriment.
