Rod Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Anyone notice that they have to feel like they need to have at least one person they can bully on the Jobsite? Just one. More maybe better but they need one. I just don’t see it with the younger generations nearly as bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted October 1, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 The ones I work with seem to always be concerned about what everyone else is doing. Shit talking and complaining all they got left I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Boomers are retiring at a huge rate these days. Now’s the time for the younger generation to take over with no one to blame anymore for their failures….that is if they show up for work and on time.

Yep we've had three let go during the pandemic and one more retiring at the end of this year. We've only brought in two junior rocket scientists straight out of college in that time so we're behind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Lucky for us we don't have any boomers at work. They couldn't handle our work at their delicate age and condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should take a boat load of boomers over to Ukraine to fight Putin. Why should we sacrifice our country's future when you all can take a bullet as good as anyone and have one foot in the grave anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
