Nowadays yutes start a job and want top pay walking in the door

We Gen Xers weren't coddled, didn't get participation medals, and got yelled at both at school/work and at sports.
Millennials want feedback, just has to be positive.
My son is a Z and when played hockey as a youngster, they didn't put the score up so as not to upset them.

He isn't wrong, new associates get hired and a month later they are wanting to talk partnership. They want their "remote" work and "work-life balance". Fuck we have articled students who don't want to be given assignments after 4pm because you know they have to get home. Students at Yale were given the day off when Trump won because it was traumatizing.
Read Dr Saad's book on the parasitic mind, it will open your eyes young Coq
remember it was the young who hid from a virus that wasn't a threat to them
As for the cloud meme, I prefer this one
Still sounds like something my dad would tell me while I was playing NHL 94 instead of studying, about him "working like a dog", all while never seeing a dog ever do any work.

And you think it wasn't the Gen x parents that did that?

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Proper, hard core Gen Xers were smart enough not to have kids in the first place. We knew they'd suck and that we would hate them like we hated boomers.
I wanted you to have a child so you could call him and his team pathetic failures for losing a rec game...
too fascist for me
maybe later but it was the Millenial generation that started it and their parents were boomers for the most part (although some X did have late millenials)
btw, ever since Burrow wore his dad's cursed Alouettes jersey, he went 0-2 and tore a ligament in his wrist and is out for the rest of the season. a bad omen for Sunday which as you know can only be a failure for the Alouettes, not a success as you do not congratulate a team for winning aka doing its job.

No, since the Als are heavy underdogs it's the Blue Bombers who are stuck between doing the expected or failing pathetically against an inferior opponent. The Alouettes are playing with house money.
you will have to update me on the game as I likely will be watching the Jets and Bills doubleheader game

I think there's a little bit of both: Children in the new generations are almost always more coddled today than their parents' generation when they were kids, who were much more coddled in their day than their parents, and so on & so forth. I don't think they're "weaker", but I do think they've not been challenged enough in their lives.
I do also think, however, that being a complete dipshit to others in the workplace is less and less tolerated, which is a good thing. It's one thing to be demanding and tough, it's another if you're just a fucking asshole and trying to intimidate your employees.
Coaches, especially head coaches in the top Junior leagues, hold those kids' careers in their hands. You could have a coach that plays you a lot or straight up benches you just because he doesn't like you. Player gets a lot of ice time, could get drafted high, but if he doesn't, he might end up going late in the draft, or maybe even undrafted.
There's an element of power that gets abused by some of these guys. You have four recent examples: Those two dopes in the WHL, Bill Peters and Mike Babcock. I'm glad those cretins have basically lost their careers, minus Bill Peters's recent return to the WHL.

I liken it to those on Strata boards who often go Hitler because they have power for the first time in their lives
