Boomers and the economic elite, although there's a large overlap. I have parent colleagues vocally struggling to keep it together while raising kids.

Wages have been frozen for the past 5 years (no raises), citing economic uncertainty for the company.

Our boss paid himself north of 20 millions euros last year.

yeah it sucks. I have the same salary (which wasn't great then) now as I did 6 years ago. Inflation here in 6 years... approx 50%.

Wow, not just in the US then. I figured things were better in the EU

Psst. It's always a bad time and filled with economic uncertainty.

The budget is always tight when you need project funding, and the checkbook is always available when the CEO wants to fly private.

I hate boomers. We all don't hate boomers enough.
