I saw that on Reddit. Of course, it was on the r/lostgeneration sub where the heading was "greedy boomers snap up all the housing and resent offspring for living at home". I'm sick and tired of the millenniels whining about the evil baby boomers, and how good they had it. Yeah right, try growing up during the cold war and being told that the world could blow up any day or facing the draft.[/oldfogeyrant]

I've worked with all ages of people who can only do something if there is a document which gives them a process to follow. While it is good to have some sort of documentation initially to know where to go, etc., the nature of work I do doesn't fit neatly in a box. It really isn't one of those "wait until someone with authority tells you to do something then do it otherwise surf the web" type of positions. There is an overwhelming amount of information to be learned and understood if one is willing to delve into it but no one is going to make someone else do so.
I've literally seen people shut down, cry or suffer panic attacks when there wasn't some clear process waiting for them and many were well compensated and had lots of experience.
The news grossly overgeneralizes each generation. The boomers are at the age where they are statistically overall the wealthiest due to work experience, etc. and I think the most disadvantaged group (millennials) probably harbor lots of anger about this. They're often poor due to lack of work experience and see the boomers with their nice cars, houses and vacations. Most of us experienced being poor and disillusioned while in our 20's.

The economy is very different from when Boomers came forth. In the Boomer's day, a minimum wage job could rent an apartment probably with a roommate. Today you can't get that. There is no such thing as a secure job.

I'd like to see one of the millennial technical wizards do a spreadsheet in the old Lotus 1-2-3, you know, the one where you had to create your own formulas.
