Ok, Boomer
Disney Channel Bye, boomer: the coming cull of workers over 50
I guess we should all brace for everyone 50+ to start being called boomers now that millennials are on the cusp of 40.

I’ve Been Waiting For This Moment For All of My Life
And yet, if now millennials are middle-aged, what does that mean for Gen X?

Shacking Up
Yes, I realize boomers aren’t in their nineties. In a jauntily titled article, “My Retirement Plan Is You,” ostensibly about boomer parents moving in with millennial children, a 45-year-old child and 53-year old parent are both featured, and I can’t let this Gen X erasure stand.

Never mind ever having a Gen X president -
Just Take Those Old Records Off the Shelf (Permanently)
I used to get miffed that no one was advertising to me. But two recent commercials have me rethinking that stance. Take these embarrassments back, please.
I can’t decide if Domino’s and Quickbooks are specifically trying to target Gen X with Risky Business and Karate Kid references or if they are the products of creatives who are so out of touch, they think 30-year-old movies somehow resonate with 20-somethings.

Whither Jennifer and Meghan?
I enjoy Sarah Miller’s writing, and this essay, “My So-Karen Life” is no exception.
Yet, in all of that “Karen” nonsense, which by next week will be a forgettable end-of-2019 blip, Karen is at heart a Boomer name, not Gen X. Karen might as well be a Linda or a Debbie.
Jennifer is the Gen X mascot, obviously.

Take This Job and Shove It
That’s how millennials and Gen Z-ers are playing the game — it’s not about jumping up titles, but moving into better work environments. They’re like silent fighters, rewriting policy under the nose of the boomers.
Ariel Coleman, 28, Portland resident, in The New York Times’ “Young People Are Going to Save Us All From Office Life“Ok, I guess. I also know quite a few Gen X-ers who were once gainfully employed and can’t get another even semi-ok full-time job to save their lives. I don’t see myself getting hired to work in an office environment ever again.
