    I was in a “generational diversity” course at work recently where we would break apart and talk about what behaviors are common among each generation and why, and how to be good leaders for each generation. We started with the “greatest” generation and the “silent” generation and worked our way down in age. Everything started so respectful and nice for the old folks, even excusing their shortcomings when one was actually brought up due to how they were raised and the tough circumstances they grew up under. By the time we got to millennial and gen z, things took a turn. Even the instructor was laying on the judgement pretty thick. “They have had everything handed to them growing up so they don’t appreciate hard work”, “[…] participation trophies […]”, etc
