Why do Gen Z n Y say boomers had it easier?

Walk to the fax machine really took you out Breh?

I worked a Dillards warehouse for years. When you get off from a warehouse job...YOURE OFF!

Boxes don't send emails, call at a times of night for outages or ask for ETA on work plans.

As a network engineer... technically IM NEVER OFF.

My phone has to stay on me and even on vacations I may have to respond to certain issues.

I'm salaried so there is no off.

Warehouse job ain’t no skilled blue collar job goofy. You think when the lights go out in the winter blue collar nikkas ain’t got they phone on em. Go to a white collar cats house at midnight to fix they boiler and they dumb azz just left the switch off

No just you nikka you was stacking boxes, boxes don’t send emails right?

In what world is working on a farm or factory easier than working at home in your pajamas. Am I missing something

Every generation in America has it easier than the ones before. Young ppl now are just lazy as hell

Because back then, you could buy a house and provide for your whole family with your basic blue-collar job.

Now in 2023, that same blue-collar job might get you a studio apartment if you're lucky

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Mentally tasking work is way worse than psychical labor. You must have never worked in “corporate America”. Warehouses and all that is mindless work

Hell no. I'd kill for a soft cushy office job. Anyone who whines about working a corporate job is a p*ssy

Nah you don’t want that life, they send emails

I'd go back in a second if you could find me that factory job paying 200k+ a year.

I'm not doing software engineering for that 20 /hr chump change either

Manual labor is definitely easier than mental labor. Being a PT burned me out way faster than working at UPS ever did. If UPS paid me what I'm being paid now in physical therapy, I'd still be working there.

The best job I ever had was filling up vending machines all day back in college (summer break). I could do the job and just go home. None of this project deadline bullshyt.

Come on now man. I am at home working as an engineer. I got a workstation with a laptop and two monitors. Plus I got on the side my personal laptop looking at the coli while listening to youtube. All while wearing shorts and a tee shirt, buying stocks and crypto throughout the say.

You can't tell me this ain't the most physically taxing and stressful job of all time.


















Sarcasm off....

Inflation stupid high doe

 

[HabitualChiller]

Physical Labour is easier because you don't have to think on the level that you do at white-collar jobs.

God forbid you're a program manager.

No just you nikka you was stacking boxes, boxes don’t send emails right?

I don't know what you do for work, but from the name calling and defensive stance you posting with, it sounds hella more stressful than my gig.

 

[NegaDuck]

Hell no. I'd kill for a soft cushy office job. Anyone who whines about working a corporate job is a p*ssy

If you haven't worked both sides youll never understand.

That's like all the nikkas that way a baddie...that shyt look like it's great...till you get you one.

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Boomers did have more labor intensive work but their ability to buy a house and raise a family was way better.
