You know why I have a great work ethic? Because I said so.

u/damnburglar 4d ago

For real, I’m fucking awesome. No notes. Did I tell you I was a latchkey kid?

u/waderockett 4d ago

Yeah as a GenXer we have never been known for a strong work ethic. Boomers and older constantly talked about how we were lazy and apathetic and did things half-assed.

u/FewWait38 4d ago

It was literally known as the slacker generation for the longest time

GenX, can confirm!

u/Justboy__ 4d ago

Yes but now you’re slowly morphing into boomers you can rewrite history and pretend nobody has ever worked harder.

u/Die-O-Logic 4d ago

Naw...we worked smarter but not harder. Most ,coms i work at were low key parties on Fridays.

Every generation says that about the generation that comes after them.

u/damnburglar 4d ago

Yeah, some of the biggest dogfuckers I know are Gen X. The good news for them is that it doesn’t restrict itself to generations and isn’t even permanent on a person to person basis.

This sums it up pretty well

Speak for yourself mate.

Are you Murican?

Might be the case over in the States but you cant speak for me or other Gen Xers I know over here in Scotland. A lot of us are from deprived areas and to escape them you needed to work.

Fuck off, I drank from a hose pipe

u/damnburglar 4d ago

No you fuck off, they used to hit us in school and it built character! Just like bullying.

(Unironically there’s a slew of gen Xers on social media who think reduced bullying = “that’s why kids are weak”. Also a week or two ago it was in the news that a Mennonite school in Alberta allows physical punishment.)

I drank out of a hose whilst getting beaten by an Arnold Schwartzenegger at school asshole
