I think they’re well informed and appreciate beauty. What do you think?

Hope nobody minds the generalizing BTW!

Friendly jokes be welcome. Consider adding /s as some people have difficulty with sarcasm.

    I’m an older millennial. My take on the GenZ entering the workforce: Super accepting of people of color, LGBTQ, vegan diets and green initiatives. Just really fun, pleasant people to be around.

    I just changed projects recently from an office that skewed younger and it’s like I ended up in 2003 again. The office is just slightly older than me and it’s just a weird vibe…people randomly ranting about EVs and how they would never own one as if anybody asked; dancing around asking what my ethnicity is as if it matters, etc. Talking bad about Asians and then looking my direction and stopping mid conversation. Ranting about vegans like it’s physically hurting them. It’s disheartening. There’s no positivity and no small talk; it’s just dead silence unless you are hating on something that has no bearing on your life.

    I can’t wait to finish this project and move on.

      Those damn vegans. I saw one the other day and it just made me want to throw up my steak!

        Honestly, that’s how it goes. And out of nowhere.

        Like live and let live right? I am not vegan but I’m not going to complain about it, or equate eating meat with manliness. And even if I had issues with veganism, work isn’t the appropriate venue to be ranting about it.
