This turns a bit off topic now, but yeah, what is the topic here after all?

12 years here, and 6 years as department manager. My personal observations and experiences (See, I already start to put in disclaimers, because someone might get offended already). The Millienials are far worse. They have no basic understanding of life and without their smartphones, they are helpless infants. "Siri, show me..." this, "Alexa, do ..." that. If they don'get Instagram likes they are "depressed", if they have to take criticism they are "tilted", if nobody Likes the image of their meal they just made and uploaded to the WWW they are "offended" and if they don't get a high sallary in their first years they are "discriminated". Sorry that I can't read your handwriting because you are used to type and swipe. Or a post that is longer than 160 characters - "Needs a TL;DR". Degeneration at its highest forms!

I don't know anyone over 40 that asks me what the difference of a regular detergent or the colour detergent is - with a Smartphone in their pockets to look for information. At the end of the day, they can't sleep because of permanent media consumption, Netflix, What'sApp, Snapchat that they are "burnt out" at the age of 35 because instead of slowing down their lives, they rather keep sleeping bad and compensate that with Starbucks coffee or intoxicate themselves with RedBull. If you ask them to put down the phone, they bring up the worst sentence every addict comes up with: "I could stop anytime". Heard that from smokers...

I have much, much more respect for the Pre-1990 generation than for the current "adults" for the reasons above. Dependent on smartphones and megacompanies.


Sincerely,

Born 1990.
