This board likes a good boomer bash.

When it comes to the C-suite, Gen X might be doomed to live up to its “forgotten generation” moniker. More baby boomers are working past traditional retirement ages. By the time they are ready to pass the torch, millennials will be reaching for it. This is already happening at more companies. In the Russell 3000, 41.5% of chief executives are at least 60 years old, up from 35.1% in 2017. Over the same period, the share of CEOs in their 30s and 40s has grown to 15.1% from 13.8%, according to research by the Conference Board and ESGAUGE.

“There’s a bias toward younger, future-fit leadership branding—even if Gen X has the real substance,”.

Same thing will happen with President. There’s never been a Gen X President and we’re going straight to a Millennial President next.

They got their one shot at the presidency with Obama. Sucks to suck.

Why are people so content with being labeled?
When you were born has nothing to do with who you are.
This obsession with putting people in neat little groups is puzzling.

There certainly are generational commonalities.

CEO positions aren’t handed out based on whose “turn” it is.

This is it exactly. Boomers have been, are and will be until they pass on a collective selfish privileged generation.
They have always shite on their X kids and love their Millennials as the millennials have bought into their crap and are carry their crazy torch.

Does any one on here know that the age of retirement has increased? Boomers have to work longer to get their SS benefits.

Any of these 3000 have DEI initiatives in the past 4 years? What’s their HR department like?

It's gonna snowball also. Each gen will stay longer.
