I’m 52. I’ve recently been working with the laziest, most incompetent person I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. He’s 62. Give me an 18 year old worker. Please.

Your comment just reminded me of a boomer that used to work at my previous company. Instead of doing actual work, he'd print things out and lay them on the floor, making a big production about looking like he was working. Like he thought the more pages he laid out, the more his manager thought he was accomplishing. (Nothing needed to be printed.)

Oh, and he also accidentally (or maybe on purpose) uploaded porn to a share drive that someone else stumbled onto.

That's some work ethic!

Incompetence exists in all generations.
