Domain Query: Gen-Screwed

Reader and friend JohnC posted a long series of questions about generational differences between the Baby Boomers, GenXers, Millennial(tard)s, and GenZ in a couple of comments on the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster from earlier this week:

Hey Didact what are thoughts on Gen X bosses? Gen X parenting?

I know many blame the Baby boomers on this and that. I myself am a Gen Y.

I have worked with Silent, Baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Y and now Z. I find the Baby Boomers would say a lot of crap on things like SJW things but really not mean it. As long as the company is making money.

Gen X on the other hand push health, safety, anti bully and equality far more often in the workplaces and see it more important than money.

I think what you are seeing in the world today in major companies in the USA is the rise of Gen X bosses. I could be wrong, but I don't think many companies are run by Gen Y at this moment in time. I think Gen X now are taking over the companies.

Also parenting, my gosh the anti racism, anti bully campaign and the push for young girls in higher education by the Gen X's is amazing bad. Gen Y are now parenting but we are still at the early stage since many of us did not kids until we were 30s (I still don't have any at this moment in time). I went to school in the 90s and Baby boomers teachers are the type that will say something but don't care to push it hard. Gen X teachers are the type that if they say it they enforce it.

Gen Y are the type that push the ideas to the limits until it fails hard and then move on to other ideas. That is why Gen Y try Veganism, Atheism, women working high careers and voting to the left at a higher rate when they were young compare to Gen X and Baby boomers.

Again I could be wrong.

Also a thought many of the pastors in the US today are Gen X and what do we see. The stupid anti racism and pro rainbow flags.

This is not to hate on the Generation X but to show that things don't get better just because the Baby boomers are retiring. The Baby boomer were and still are bad compare to the generations that come before them. And it is amazing that many of them still think the world owes them.

Now that Gen X is in charge you would think that they would want to reverse some of the damage but instead they push it into high gear.

I also don't believe that Gen Y or Z will do any better when they get into power.

My prediction is that many companies today will over time give up higher positions to women of Gen Y. They (gen Y women in the positions) will then destroy the businesses.

You can not put your faith in the Generations, since they are people.

Also it sad to think that instead of trying to make positive changes now, many are relaying on the younger generations to fix the problems cause by their generations and the older ones. People had given up on Gen Y but i will tell you, Gen Z can not fix it (at least not on their own) and Generation Alpha will not fix it. It will take all generations to make sacrifices and a turn to God.

Like I said - a LOT of questions all strung together. So I answered them at some length. Here is the embedded podcast.
