There’s a war of words playing out at dinner tables, in the office kitchenette, on Instagram, TikTok and yes, Facebook too. Each generation armed with punchlines are poking at one another. Boomers with accusations of 'entitlement'. Millennials rolling their eyes #OKBoomer. Gen X wallowing in "middle child" syndrome. And have you been on the receiving end of the Gen Z stare?
But the banter can cut deeper than it first appears: accusations of laziness, a lack of commitment, or even narcissism. But what if those stereotypes are just noise drowning out deeper conversations about work, values, economic fairness and resilience?
Our question: What’s the biggest misconception about your generation? How do generational stereotypes affect how you’re seen and heard?
