“We never had these problems when I was growing up.” “It was completely different during my time.” “Kids these days!” You’ve likely heard some form of these statements from an older person and had the urge to respond with “OK, boomer.”
It didn’t matter if the individual wasn’t from that generation, by definition. Their nostalgia and perplexity toward the modern way of life didn’t make sense to you. But as you grow older, you experience the same longing for things to go back to the way they were “back in your day.”
These people did, and they shared their grievances in a recent post on Threads. Which of these are you also guilty of?

Just because I have a cellphone, doesn’t mean I’m more reachable for my employer unless you’re giving me on-call pay. Even if I’m salaried, I deserve some time off during the week

Customer satisfaction surveys are a useless waste of my time. If you ask me to take one, I'll tell you that I'm dissatisfied because of having to take your stupid survey.
