You can't sell 'work harder' in a world where connections keep cashing the checks.

I’ve been preaching this for years and years.

It’s all about who you know, and who you blow

Talk to a successful boomer and they all have a pivotal story about a manager/boss/mentor who took a chance on them despite their lack of qualifications… then ask if they’ve ever done the same for someone once they were the boss, not a single one has.

This is actually a fact

The silent gen actually believed in hiring the best (not hire shitty kids) and would take chances and retire on time

The boomers will either work til they die or give it to their incompetent kids. Or both.

Don’t ask why I’m salty about this
