Boomer work interaction that just happened

I think it's cute @NoBacon has a pretend job and talks about it like it's real.

It did happen, I didn’t reprimand him, I just said “come on man, you can’t talk like that here”

And he didn’t understand and insisted he did nothing wrong and I dropped it.

I don’t want to do it, but why aren’t they just aware?

They never had anybody in their life tell them no. See how mad boomers get when you tell them the product isn’t in the back. This extends to all aspects of their life even flirting. They are so fucking pigheaded they don’t think they have to change their attitude or behavior for anything or anyone. They are easily the most spoiled generation.

Congrats, you'll play the role of the witness in his metoo firing.

Edit: Also, don't you work in IT? Why are files even a thing? Bizarre ngl.

Have you worked at any large company?

Lots of the tech is literally from the 80s. I had to learn “edifact” and the latest upgrade is changing it to cutting edge….. xml.

We have one room with brand new copiers and one next to it with piss yellow fax machines.

It’s absolutely this.

The cool ones prove the rule because they don’t act like it so stand out.

Saying anything unrelated to work to a female coworker is a bad idea.
I literally took harassment training at work this week that said that telling a woman she had "shiny, voluptuous hair" and asking what shampoo she uses is sexual harassment.

I'm probably sexually harassing women all day and don't even know it.

Boomers should know the 24 year old girl doesn’t want to hear about his cruise or his motorbike.

Nobody does, I’d rather hear someone just read from a phone book. It’s the same non interesting shit.

Same with the buildings / desks. Company I’m working for is global and we’re just now finally getting around to updated 5 of out office buildings that have barely been changed since the late 80s

Imagine still saying boomer or Karen and thinking it’s not mind-numbingly trite.

Imagine using the “imagine” construct while criticizing cliched expressions.

Everything is shit.
It’s the same as “cancelled” - that’s really been run into the ground.

If you really want to see something shitty there’s a movie coming out called “Jingle Smells” that is produced by Sean Hannity. Here’s the plot - im

It's why women shouldn't be working in the same building as men under any circumstances.

Women can work all they want, but it can be done in a separate building so avoid all problems.

Hearing them talk like that just makes me all the more envious because they clearly grew up in an era where you could say retarded shit like that in the workplace and no one would bat an eye.
About ten years ago at Thanksgiving my grandfather was talking about a black guy and he called him colored - I had a good laugh at that one.

I can back you up on this. Lots of tech is old as shit. I wasn’t even a tech consultant and it was painfully obvious
