It’s interesting to see the generational differences

My parents are boomers

I left work early once because of a terrible headache and when I told my dad he said I should “tough it out for the sake of my job”

Why should I? The conditions I work in are a joke most days and I’m horribly underpaid, I can barely survive off my wages

I don’t owe them crap

They should feel lucky if I get a splinter and still decide to go in

They call us entitled and lazy all the time, but if they would suffer through even a mild inconvenience for the joke of a paycheck I get maybe it wasn’t due to their “work ethic”, maybe they were just suckers

But it’s more likely that a full time job with the state government used to actually be worth a damn back in their day, until they screwed all that up for us

Either way I wish they would shut up and listen to us for a change
