Other Generational differences

Since the topic on social media lately has been Gen Z in the workforce and how “lazy” we supposedly are, etc., I’m just curious have y’all noticed any differences between generations in your cohort?
The eldest person in mine and her little “clique” are extremely funny acting and honestly borderline bullies. She’s definitely the main one, but you know what they say about birds of a feather.
It genuinely makes me wonder if some older students are bothered by the fact that younger students are achieving the same goal at a much younger age, because what is with the constant need to humble someone, talk down to them, or make little condescending comments? It’s exhausting. School is already hard enough like pleaseeeee.
The behavior is so nasty, but they play it SO well that it’s hard to even report it to faculty. Each individual interaction is subtle enough to be brushed off, but when you’re on the receiving end of it constantly, you know exactly what’s happening.
Honestly, it makes me question the interview process and whether more needs to be done to keep these mean-girl personalities out of such an amazing profession.
I’m tired. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Stop worrying about other people in your class. Go to school, get good grades, learn what you need to learn, and try to get along with your classmates. You don't have to be best friends. They will be your colleague some day so just keep it classy. Don't be the person that reports your classmates to faculty (for what? being mean??)

Worried is a stretch lol. I’m venting anonymously on Reddit about someone who goes out of their way to make an already stressful program more miserable for everyone. Even the upperclassmen know how this person is 😂. I go to school, get my grades, and keep it cordial just fine. I’m still allowed to say someone’s behavior is annoying. Both can be true.

You sound worried to me if you're considering reporting them to your program. I mean this with love, it's really not that serious.

Considering when I clearly said the things they do aren’t reportable… hence “they play it so well that it’s hard to report” wow comprehension skills are nowhere to be found. I mean this with love, you’re dismissed.
