Boomer work culture is based on slacking off once you get to the top by offloading all your work on your subordinates and forcing them to work much harder than you do, it's the opposite of healthy work culture

Don’t forget that they think their climb up the ladder is 100% based on meritocracy and not being good at office politics/social game.

all systems have a lifecycle. birth, growth, stabilization, decay. the birth rate was not the only thing that boomed; america (and the global economy) rapidly modernized during the mid- to late- 1900s. this put boomers in the drivers' seat for that modernization boom when much of our modern work culture was being shaped.

Yeah good shoes are an investment in your health and sanity, it's an area where cheaping out is expensive and the demands of women's throwaway fashions are disturbing at best

Wisconsinites flocked to their favorite watering holes Wednesday night in the immediate aftermath of the state Supreme Court’s decision to block the governor’s stay-at-home order. It was the first time any state’s efforts at limiting business activity to halt the spread of the coronavirus had been so dramatically cast aside. WTMJ visited several bars in Milwaukee and found them packed with people celebrating the court’s decision. One customer told the channel: “I have a toddler at home and I’m a full-time nurse, so it’s been very stressful and hard to not be able to go out and be with my family and friends at the bar.” Bar owner Kathy Goedde said she reopened as soon as the ruling came down, adding: “It was awesome.” Goedde said she’s limiting the number of people coming in and has asked them to stay two bar stools away from each other.
