Are boomers really needed if they don't have skills ?

Today on Saturday I got a call from office grandma ( 20 years in same company) , she started arguing that I didn't sent her the update and showed me her what's app screenshot. I noticed that there is no net sign on top near battery indicator. What the hell, why companies keep such people , they have 0% technology knowledge, can't use decent tools , don't know gmail interface . Why the hell ?

In case you forgot, boomers created the internet, the wireless telephony, aviation, high speed rail and the list goes on and own. You also have to appreciate that cognitive powers go down with age and it happens to everyone. I read your comments and it seems you are proud to be born in 1997 and proud to be a self taught person. This is arrogance at peak. Never ever forget the number of people from whom you learnt. There were people who taught you to sit to walk to ride bike to write alphabets to learn to sit still in class to everything. Do change your attitude and learn compassion if you want to go far in life. PS: I do face problems once in a while in wading through the apps these days and my son helps me out. But I work in developing technology that you will use 20 years from now.

You are just an arrogant person and time is a great teacher. Be around for 50 60 years and you will realise the words that I said.

This post made me want to puke. It’s as if like you are perfect and will never ever make a mistake in life. Calling someone with 20 yrs of experience a grandma? Mofo, you seem like someone who’ll never progress in his/her career. Ever saw a successful leader, ceo, cto behaving like this?

Simple question - why do you think she's persisting in her role if you think she has no skills? Do you think she's bringing anything on the table with her experience? Or she's just filling her time because she'll retire soon.

[Interview Exp] Why can't Women professionals be seen as basic humans

Context: I had put out a message seeking newer projects, and a certain person reached out. They have over 20+ yrs of exp and run their own boutique consultancy. The role they had envisioned fit perfectly that I was looking for. Interview: We spoke over an hour, discussing the role, my top skills that would be beneficial, future prospects, where I see myself beyond work. Genuinely good conversation. The person concludes the Interview and I quote "Now that I have met you, I can definitely say the pictures you have over your social media and website do not do justice to how you look. You have many photogenic angles that you should explore" Shock was understatement I steered the conversation towards how it is essential for my personal brand building and I have it in my consideration. (I believe I handled it well) P.S. Anyone who supports this because it was just appreciating beauty - wrong place wrong time and also wrong person. P.P.S. Time to get a photoshoot done!

Keeping up with the trend

I hate entitled genz.. Most frauds, brought up on soyboy YouTube channels . Boomers hated the millenials.. Millenials were too much talk and true most of it is. So why the fuck should millenials bend over backwards for genz. If they die, they die.

Good company

Things you can assume about someone, whos doesn't have a LinkedIn presence:

I see LinkedIn as the generic platform for technical personels. Presence on LinkedIn guarantees presence on other niche platforms but not viceversa 1. Probably a old person, as for them digital presence doesn't matter 2. Have not been actively looking for opportunities in past 2+ years 3. Probably not familiar with latest industry trends 4. Isn't aware about the bhaiya/ didi influenza, so also making him/her unaware of the current industry hiring patterns

My manager is acting strange since I asked for a leave. What should I do?

We’re pretty chill. But I’m planning to go for a vacation to Kerala for 10 days almost, and since i told them they have been weird. Immediate response was to say that it’ll be tough to manage the project and that long a leave isn’t possible I debated back and they were like fine. But since then it’s just been very cold. What can I do? 🤕

Boomers shitting on Zoomers

I recently posted a CTC check and a lot of people commented that I was overpaid. Why are boomers so jealous and annoyed of Zoomers earning more? 🤡
