Those things don't work. I bought one...it was used though.

I work with a Boomer that can't even print. That is infuriating to say the least. Don't even get me started on the concept of "copy and paste".

Then they complain & blame others for our company falling behind others in response times & job executions while remaining confident that it's not their fault due to the time it takes to deal with them & get answers out of them.
Typical oblivious boomers.

And then after they retire and everything gets miles better, they will take credit for teaching the lazy know-nothing millennials everything they knew.

True. I deal with this daily in my office. The oldheads refuse to adjust to technology and it drives me crazy with all the bs waste of time questions and tasks i'm asked to do.

The guy had a few pre-existing conditions and I think the company was afraid of a wrongful termination situation.

this old head , had a hell of a problem going from slide rule and paper calculations to computer calcs. using punch cards. I was right, punch cards had about a 2 year tech life.

1987, bos put a PC on my desk and formed a local network to communicate faster. My reply was I already get 7-8 sticky yellow notes from him daily and I communicated that I could work faster if he used whole thoughts.

I helped transition several depts to Voip...nothing changed except logging into the phone and dialing/clicking answer button was now on the computer monitor. 97% had no issues but there were always a couple that just fought it bitterly. Eventually their own teammates started taking point on helping the "late adopters" with issues

Including an extra character, especially one that is incorrect, would have been a costly mistake in the days of the telegram.

I’ve had to show older coworkers how to use things like vlookup and pivot tables. It’s pathetic

6S checking in. Why upgrade when it still works fine?


5S here. Hell, I’d use an iPod shuffle if it’d work.
