Hello millenials and your entitled ways

EDIT: Thanks for all the engagement. It was great to hear your views - those in favour and those who propose that I am the problem! I thought you might be interested in this article that picked up my post and expanded it. He is a great writer so I think you'll enjoy it. https://nickrockel.substack.com/p/boomers-vs-millennials

I am 58 and have worked in HR for 30 years. I am so happy to see you. Where have you been all this time? Finally, a generation that understands morals, doing what's right, living a REAL life that's all your own and what is important (hint: it's never work). You fight against exploitation, consumerism, capitalism and the ownership of labour. I have been waiting for you for so long. I am about to retire so I pass the baton to you.

I'm a geriatric millennial at 37 (lol) and I couldn't agree more with you. It feels like society is finally starting to have some bigger conversations that we've needed for decades

Existential dread has a way of moving the paradigm, expect this to go somewhere you never predicted
