Tech is a bit of an exceptional situation since it’s extremely dynamic and growing, plus there are a lot of youngish people in the upper echelons. I’m thinking more of older, more established industries, which are what the vast majority of people work in. That’s not what I meant regarding the age. I mean that the same labels are often applied to different age groups; there are multiple definitions. And also, the labels convey a kind of cultural significance that I think distracts from the more important differences. It’s easy to say that “Millenials deserve everything they get because they’re lazy and entitled”, not so easy to say “Young people deserve everything they get because they’re lazy and entitled.”
