Employers demonstrated their infidelity to their staff by paying loyal workers, on average, 7% less than new hires — 20 years ago, salaries were largely the same between new and longtime employees.

    But that’s not their fault. It’s the fault of current bosses. Why blame it on a generation that was slightly less screwed than yours, just because they were slightly less screwed?

        But not all people of that generation are those bosses. In fact very, very few ever were.

        You have to realise that denouncing all the people of a group based on their race, appearance, gender, sexual preference or - yes - even age is morally problematic. Blaming all of them for something that very few of them had anything to do with just makes you look bad, not them.

        I hate where the world is at but I think you’re wildly misguided about who’s to blame. Blame the super rich and the politicians who set economic policy - not your granny whose worst crime is loving you and baking you apple pies.

          I’m not blaming ALL of them. But there definitely are differences (in general) in their voting, their wealth, and their attitudes.

          Those politicians also got into power generally because of the older generations that vote Republican.
