30 year old millennial me working with GenZers: "actually never mind, when boomers complained about millennials that was BS but these GenZers actually are lazy and entitled, it's different this time!"

20 year old GenZers: "I'm never going to be like my millennial boss, I won't complain about GenAlpha..."

nah im almost 40 and still retain a deep hatred for old people. 20 year olds are so fucked now for many reasons. I'm worried their educations are shit because they just ask the robot for answers and can't use basic problem solving, but maybe that's more an alpha problem. If they had the same opportunities my grandparents had(graduate high school, immediately get good paying job with pension) then there'd be some basis for thinking theyre lazy.

Old people are doing this too just as much as young people

old people have had decades without it to develop. Younger kids won't. Having it be a crutch in the last third of your life(when the brain declines) vs having it as a crutch from day one, is extremely different.
