Bottom Liners by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum for February 08, 2024

Isn’t Gen-Z Generation redundant?

I find it hard to work too!

Hard work doesn’t bother me, I could sit and watch it all day

That sounds exactly like some of my former coworkers- who were a lot older than gen-z!

A lot of people feel like that……..?..

Bingo!

OK boomer…

I’m a boomer and I don’t get all the boomer hate, evidently we ruined the world.

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”― Socrates

The self-victimization of those who need labels.

We had it so bad, we were so much better.

Evidence that without “we” the auto-assigned victim has no persona.

Reuben, Reuben, I’ve been thinking

Said his wifey dear

Now that all is peaceful and calm

The boys will soon be back in the office

Mister Reuben started winking and slowly rubbed his chin

He pulled his chair up close to mother

And he asked her with a grin

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

After they’ve been working from home

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

When they have been zooming in their underwear oh so long

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

They’ll never want to see a cubical again

And who the deuce can play video games then?

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

After they’ve been working from home

Rueben, Rueben, you’re mistaken

Said his wifey dear

Once an office worker, always a jay

And an office worker always needs the pay

Mother Reuben, I’m not fakin

Tho you may think it strange

But setting your own hours for the takin

With a boy who’s loose with change

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

After they’ve been working from home

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

When they have been zooming in their underwear oh so long

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

They’ll never want to see a cubical again

And who the deuce can play video games then?

How ya gonna get ’em back in the office

After they’ve been working from home

Why work so hard for a few extra bucks if petty theft, e-z low budget crimes and smash and grab activities Go unpunished?

Work ethics, desire for independence and incentives like being your own boss and the owner of a business have changed and sadly not for the better

All they want to do is stare at their phones.

The Migrants will be doing the hard work now:)
