‘Ultra wealthy’ Gen Xers are proving more resistant to returning to the office. (archive.is)

It's funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren't going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic.

Also, sure Millenials and Gen-Z are "choosing" to go back. They aren't compelled in any way. Right.

My company is full of Gen X (I myself am just on the X/Millennial cusp) and they are honestly some of the best allies that Millenials and Z aren't tapping into. Gen X pull weight and equally don't give a fuck, due to the latchkey-COWABUNGA-go-play-in-the-streets timeframe they grew up in.

I have a feeling GenX are also the first generation that won't be allowed to retire, so we're going to be working with them for a long time.

We are the first generation to get legally scammed out of any pensions, so yes, a lot of us will retire by overdose
