‘Ultra wealthy’ Gen Xers are proving more resistant to returning to the office. (archive.is)

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.

Wholeheartedly agree. The most bizarre thing for me is my oldest siblings are 7yrs older and they are considered Boomers, and what a stark difference. Both had excellent education, careers, both union, and capitalism worked for them, they dodged all the market downturns, recessions & bubbles- and they're quite opinionated on them lazy kids, immigrants, etc.
