Hoopah drives the boat Chief !!
Imagine being critical of some poor schmuck making $17 an hour to do the most physical part of your job for you. Safety concerns, sure, light em up. If you want the help though, you take what you can get. If you're a prick that expects $40 work out of a $17 employee. Well you can shove it right up there next to your head. 😂

I swear some boomers can be the biggest group of ego maniac sissys. They love to :censored2: on the youth while ignoring the basic math that proves their hours of work earned more buying power. "Oh kids have it so easy now, minimum wage is $15! They have turn by turn navigation and they just play on their phones all day." Meanwhile my generation needs to gross 60k a year just afford to live in a studio :censored2:ing apartment.
Not saying you !!
But your generation needs a safe room
Needs to be constantly told your doing a great job
Always got a prize for showing up
Always had your mom fight your battles, a bloody nose builds character and teaches a lesson
We didn't have a vcr DVD player to see our favorite movie , we mostly had one tv in the house ,, the news came on when dad got home ,
We didn't get a choice for dinner , eat it or go to bed hungry
Your generation wants trans to play woman's sports
Can't look professional at work place
Expects a hand out and has to have the newest video game everyone
, most of your generation never had to share a room with a sibling or wear hand me downs
Most never had to wait for mom to make you a bite , you just pop something in the microwave,
And most of all , a lot of your generation ever got a good smack in your ass from your old man or mother ,, I'm not directing this on you personally , But this is how most of us boomers feel ,,,,,
Let the bashing begin !!

You don't actually know any millennials. All my peers work full time and cant afford to rent a studio. All that other bull:censored2: is just your generations politicians and buisnessmen trying to make a buck.

Well bust your ass so you got an opportunity to go driving and make that kind of money.

Most of us started out as part-timers but the difference is we knew once we got our foot in the door we had an opportunity to make a career for ourselves.
Pretty easy. You just show up and move the boxes. It's not rocket science, it's just hard work intentionally done in an inefficient manner.

So much ego attatched to a day job. UPS is one of the few places that will pay you a living wage just to show up and perform the minimum acceptable job for 30 years.

And it's only because we (union) literally fight for it. Those handouts and participation trophies are what old heads in positions of power and/or comfortable complacency gave us instead of a living wage

Yeah, I got guys like you. I’ve worked with, they make it about five years and flame out. The job is a grind making it 30 years is no joke. Most Can’t do it.

Keep your eye on the prize
Yep, lost one this week, had about eight years in. The job is not just a physical grind. It’s a mental grind, especially when you’re having family problems at home. Sitting in the seat of the truck when life is happening and you can’t do a damn thing about it, gets a lot of guys fired for doing something stupid or quitting.

You seem to have a lot of insight.

My son learned early. The chores aren’t done we don’t sit around the table. It’s not cruel it’s responsibility and learning respect.

I got it easy now that I live in town. But trust me there ain’t no way I’d tolerate what these kids are putting their parents through.

Get ten years driving in and you might change your outlook. Many of us older people have been through everything you can through at us. I hope you are around in ten years.

Listen, every one of you knew what you signed up for and why. It's a good deal. It's hard to show up everyday, but that's exactly what my generation gets criticized for. Not wanting to do what you guys had to do for less buying power.

Boo hoo you had to endure exactly what you expected to endure and had union protection and were garunteed a living wage if you just show up and do the minimum. Sounds :censored2:ing great. That's why I'm here. To survive. Does it suck? Sure. Do I think it makes me special that I chose to do it and stuck with it? Nope. It makes me someone without a better option. Get off your high horses. It's just work with good pay.
