going on about the younger employees wanted the older ones gone, and how back in the day, that wasn't the business norm. The head guy was old, and so was his staff - you worked alot of years, hoping to one day get there. i remember the change starting to take place in the 70s - funny, how some other changes were taking place also - namely, the church was going CONtemporary, and basically shelving, for the most part, the Bible. The 70s, was when the newFANGled bibles starting being copywritten and sent out (to confuse people).
So, as the decades progressed, (more like regressed, but anyway) older employees were finding themselves, passed over - if not dismissed ... over really nothing. And this disregard for older people's experience is surprising? As a nation, we called the Lord on the carpet; told Him, he was not a good fit, and so gave him an hour to clear out his desk, then called security to escort him off the premises.
Okay, the almost funny part: Ms.Boomer was going on about her cannabis-wisdom. Wait a sec! Wasn't it our generation who either ignored, if not flat out scoffed at, the time-tested experience of our elders? And we expect today's young generation to listen to us ... blather on about two miles and three feet of snow ... okay hasbeen.
As for cannabis, that's not mere dope (the opposite of wisdom); blowing weed is sorcery-lite ... still sorcery, no thanks.
I've been troubled about boomers a long time. The me generation is basically blowing up the world on their way out. Sacrificing the young for the old is beyond evil. When they give this experiment to children, I will be throwing up and am ready to throw up over it being given to teens. I have spoken out where I can. It's not easy. What happened to boomers? I used to like elderly people a lot but I have noticed a HUGE DIFFERENCE between silents who are now almost all died off, and boomers.
ReplyDeleteDear Peeps, it's almost funny, but not. The easy-breezy hippies morphed into a really uptight establishment - waay more uptight than the cops, teachers and government officials whom they were protesting against.
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me online they think the real hippies died off, and the reactionaries were left. I guess the people who voted for Nixon when they are 18 or something. Hey do you remember when I used to discuss that book "The Thirteenth Generation" about Gen X, and in that book written in the 1990s, they predict that the boomers will become the most fascist generation that ever will live? It came true.
DeleteDear Peeps, "Thirteen" is an appropriate description in the title...so much babbling among my generation.
