“Gen X’ers are worse than boomers now.”
People have called out the most toxic boomer, millennial, and Gen Z trends — but according to the internet, Gen X can be pretty toxic as well. Here are just some “toxic” Gen X things that they’re pointing out:
1.
Creating a toxic work environment:
It’s not that “no one wants to work” it’s that millennials and zoomers refuse to be both underpaid AND work in a toxic environment. Gen x can’t grasp this because they let themselves be walked over for the last 30+ years as a worker

Believing all kinds of working hours should be a norm:
Boomer boss: Sure I’ll provide a reference. Glad you know it wasn’t personal when I threw that chair. Just how it goes sometimes. Anyway this has been fun stay in touch call me if you need anything ever
Gen X: I have reported your toxic behavior of not working weekends to HR

Always complaining about being left out:
I know Gen X are feeling left out by not getting made fun of by younger generations, so here’s one:
Oooo, I’m a Gen Xer I love R.E.M. Out of Time would be a perfect album if it weren’t for “Shiny Happy People.”

Like, being left out is a personality trait:
Gen X complains a lot about being erased and ignored but I feel like maybe you guys don’t *really* want the level of scrutiny other generations get…

And apparently, causing MORE damage than boomers:
@a_centrism I hate Gen X more than Boomers. Boomers were handed unprecedented wealth and prosperity on a platter and we expected them to do what was right and prudent. They failed. But Gen X took everything their parents hadn’t already wrecked by accident and finished the job with purpose

Being passive aggressive online:
the gen x urge to start posting all my grievances on facebook and saying shit like “Let’s just say… you know who you are. 😒”

Being rude customers:
You know on the whole I hate the generational divide talk, but I will say, that working in customer service I have noticed that gen Z are way more polite than their gen X parents.
