Its not just boomers. Recently was in a major US city, a walkable one, for a work offsite. The plan was office -> happy hour -> dinner. We're talking a 7-12 min walk MAX between places. Entire team insists on Ubering everywhere. Everyone is under 40 years old, mostly out of shape/overweight, but not terribly so. Certainly capable of walking a few hundred steps. I suggested walking and was met with "company is paying for everything, so lets just uber". Ironically, a few people on this team complain about car culture and walkability.
- achenet 3y agomy goodness... that's absolutely awful.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoThey don’t seem embarrassed by it either, right? I think a big part of the boomer issue is that they associate walking with being poor
- Eumenes 3y agoThese weren't boomers but yeah, they weren't embarrassed. Honestly, I felt judged suggesting it.
