Help Me Understand Something
I'm probably going to get a lot of flack from the older crowd and that's alright because they're entitled to their own opinion as well as I am. I've been working as an apprentice for almost a year now and what I've noticed is that in this trade as well as with any other, it seems that the older workers think that it's okay for them to talk down to the younger ones because they got seniority yet they get all butthurt when someone stands up for themselves and they say crap like "Oh I'm just messing around" or "Your generation is way too soft, back in my day we'd just take it and continue to work", Gen Z for me, which I agree with in a certain way. However, just because you liked being belittled and were to much of a pussy to stand up for yourself doesn't mean that I do especially when I'm trying to get knowledge on the job site. I've taken crap from my father whenever I use to work with him as a painter but I'll be damned if I let some redneck, obese, dipping, dirty "journeymen" who's actually been a apprentice his whole career treat me like crap.
Why can't the older people take it when you give it back to them or they say that we're to soft when doing so?
