Amazing to me the arbitrary groups people feel they are allowed to discriminate against. Lets just insult a few dozen million people because of when they were born and actively pine for their demise because social media tells me they are what's wrong with everything. Hate is not a good look on you friend.

I agree with the sentiment aimed at boomers in general is not warranted but the op was talking about boomer management style which is just a subset of that and it is what we have in large part now

  "boomer management style" is not a thing. Are you saying that all people of a set generation manage in the exact same way. Are you also saying that all people younger than that generation are much better? Trade the word boomer out for Jewish, black, or your group of choice, see if it works.

    Im not saying any of the things you imply and really dislike your not so subtle racism or antisemitism innuendo. All I’m saying is that a certain management style born in a previous era is no longer working. I mentioned that I don’t like the ire at boomers or any particular group except for a subset of it and that is the management style. If the newer generation used the same style it won’t make a difference, what im hoping for is a fresh start. This discussion is regarding mental work related health and this is the frame in which Im making this comment

      I am not saying you are racist or antisemitic (apologies if it came off that way), I am saying that casually discriminating against an entire group just for when they were born or holding a group responsible for the actions of a few is how we got racism and antisemitism. Its not ok to label a group of people with a casual slur "Boomer" and then assign responsibility for things we disagree with to that group, when each person in that group is an individual and should be treated as such.
