My own personal idea to reduce burnout: democracy.
People never shut up about how we supposedly live in a free democratic society and spend 40+ hours in a fucking facist dictatorship.
Also if you don’t like your boss it should be legally permissible, even encouraged, to be able to hit them in the face once with a tire iron.
The most burned-out generation yet.
yeah. the energy and determination of youth has kept GenZ from burning out yet, but they went through covid during what should have been the peak years of their life.
on the other hand, us Millennials are cursed with remembering how things used to be better. sometimes I wish I didn't.
Well Gen Z only hears and sees the beautified pink tinted version of history on how life used to be - not sure that's any better
GenX here. We plan to work full time until we are dead. We have no retirement savings. Get bent.
if you don't have any savings, that's on you.
Of course they're not as burned out as us; they're younger and haven't been beaten down for as long. I'm sure they'll get there in time, but we need to stop this intergenerational infighting and focus on what's really important: putting everyone over 50 in camps and redistributing their wealth.
Let's start with Florida and see how it goes
That's where I was gonna build the camps.
And even if they never have it like us, then good. I want younger generations to have it better. I know what its like to be handed a shit deal
I want my son to grow up in a world with so much oversight and regulation that he takes government protections for granted and dismantles them for tax breaks. Is that so much to ask?
A bit extreme
Found one for the camps!
These terms like "Gen X" or "Millennials" are just as meaningful as astrological signs. In other words: They aren't.
These supposed generational differences are utter nonsense. There's no scientific research behind them. There are always people with different experiences and biographical backgrounds, but no entire generation experiences the same background.
But there are some similarities throughout a cadre. For example one generation lived through the Great Depression, another through WW2, and yet another through the black plague. It doesn’t mean that whole cadres experiences are exactly the same and ubiquitous across the globe, but it does mean it shares some environmental characteristics that are useful for categorization.
While it may not be very useful in many contexts, it absolutely isn’t the same as astrology.
The question is: how much impact do such shared experiences have? This is usually overinterpreted. Even with all people who experienced the Second World War, one cannot say that they all automatically share the same character traits. There are millions of other individual factors that also have a biographical and epigenetic impact and thus great diversity will always arise.
Everyone is calling out (rightfully so) the divisive bait but I think there is some interesting reason worth discussing behind this:
Some Gen Z folks used the wisdom of millennials and just said fuck it and checked out, their lives might not be great but it’s probably stress free.
Whereas for millennials, in theory having the American dream was possible, just less likely as time progressed. They are stuck with an almost sunken cost fallacy in which they have tried so hard cause they believed with enough effort they would make it. Now that they are burned out, they are faced with the dilemma of either stop trying and waste the high efforts or keep going and maybe they will get lucky.
So in conclusion, millennials having it better can backfire in some sense.
The only reason this can be even slightly true is strictly because of age. We are ALL burnt out. They will be where millennial are in just a few years. We gotta stop this gen VS gen nonsense.
With increased demands on this specific generation of caregivers, other studies have shown that it’s in a company’s best interest to ensure millennials have the resources and benefits that they need to succeed.
That's not gonna happen. Workers must toil to make more profits for the people at the top or they will be replaced.
Fuck that. Every generation throws a hero up the pop shart.
Nope we're not doing this again. It's not like that. Were all equally fucked on average. Let's not be crabs in a bucket.
But... but.... I'm a lobster and she's a crayfish!
That right!
And you call this gestures vaguely around a bucket‽ More like some kind of high walled vessel.
It's a safety basement. We're in it because of safety!
This whole Gen vs Gen bullcrap is a bourgeois distraction attempt. Don't buy into any of it. There is no Gen vs Gen, it's bourgeois vs proletariat.
I’m 42 and I’ve been burned out since 1983.
The first eviction is the worst.
*counts on fingers*
Shit man
You've got quite a few fingers
Didn't know being mentally unwell is a competition, but bring it on
Call forth the therapists and let them do battle for our honor
Millennials are more burned out because of having more time to have gotten burned out.
Compare people of same age. Get back to me about gen Z in 10 or 15 years and compare them to Millennails now.
Exactly. I'm a millennial and this is absolute bullshit. Gen Z has it way worse than we did at that age, and we already had it rough.
These generational differences simply do not exist. Societies don't work that way that everybody in a cohort has the same experiences and biographies.
Everyone is fuck this gen war bait and fuck fake journalist
Instead of the class war, fuck billionaires
Fuck this generation war bait.
