For real. The boomers at my workplace got hired a couple decades ago, and immediately got slotted into high paying full time jobs. Sure, admittedly some of the management practices back then were pretty hardcore, there was a lot more hazing and fighting that got overlooked. But meh, whatever, they got paid really good money and benefits. They all bought houses and raised families, and right now they're all top seniority, so they make way more money than low seniority/part time workers, and they also have dibs on the EASIEST positions. Some of these guys literally do zero work.

Well, because of the lockdowns and layoffs, some of these high seniority boomers actually had to pick up some slack and do REAL work for the first time in decades....and they're all fucking crying and throwing tantrums. One guy even was close to getting in a fist fight with the manager because of some "extra work" (read: actual work) added to his task list.

How about people my age or younger? Started part time getting paid significantly less, expected to be trained on and able to do a wide variety of positions and take on massive responsibility (to cover full time positions when people are off/call in sick), NO benefits, low seniority. Some of us have been with the company for FIVE YEARS and still can't be guaranteed more than 20-30 hours per week, still have no benefits, and still make 4-5 dollars per hour less than full timers doing the same work (how's that for your pay gap?).

This isn't just me and my job, this is pretty standard across most low-mid level industries. The only millenials/gen Z making decent money right now are in trades or high end STEM. Anyone who went to lib arts-tier post secondary or went into low skill work is absolutely fucked beyond belief.

Anyone that's been at a company for five years and is bitching about being paid or treated like shit needs to find a new job ASAP.

They're not giving you a raise or other benefits because they know you're either too lazy or incompetent to find something better.

Boomers never had to do that.
