No. You made bad life choices, and that's not my problem. Buh bye. Shoo. Good riddance. I can't wait for the working environment in this industry to improve when they leave and take their politics, grouchiness, selfishness, and conspiracy theories with them.
Sounds like you have a very very very long career ahead of you. Those behind the Boomers will take their same form as well as those behind them when it’s their turn. Definitely not all will stay but the majority will drag it out to the limit whatever that might be and labeled the same as above it’s just cyclic. Terrorism, 08 market, Pandemic, industry competition, etc. What you said is sound thinking Good Luck - take your own advice you will need it. Optimizer’s aren’t going away unlike some of those you detest for your sake. Enjoy your decades of fun if you can, wish you the best whatever that might be.
*While I’m not a Boomer (wouldn’t mind if I was) I have planned accordingly and at this point it’s just fun (I don’t live in the pax world or much of an optimizer outfit).
