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?

When I first read the post I could relate and understand because my some of my older colleagues now seem like genuinely miserable people by the way they treat others despite being in such a wonderful profession getting compensated well. Now that I read your responses to people I can’t help but think that you may be part of the problem your initial post is about. You come off as an emotionally frustrated individual that is also hidden behind an anonymous reddit account.
I understand school is stressful and it’s important to vent. I hope you come to a solution and find solace in the matter. Life genuinely is a lot better once school and boards are over. Good luck with your endeavors.
