33 JULY 2023 WorldWide Drilling Resource® The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” Okay, I am a bit confused. We started with the G.I. “Greatest” Generation, then the Silent folks, of course then the Baby Boomers, and then just call them the X, Y, Z, and now the As? Did any of these groups have any idiots or bad or crazy behaviors? Well, I don’t have enough time and space to do this topic justice so I decided to give you three quick examples from each generation. But my real question is: What are we going to call the next group because believe me, this may be the biggest group of idiots in history. How about a couple of quick quotes to set the stage so you will bring a curious and lighthearted mindset to this article? Boomers • Baby boomers think everyone else is overly sensitive. • Boomers like pretending today's cost of living is manageable. • Boomers talk too much and say nothing. Xs • If you ever wanna offend a Gen X person, call them a Boomer! • Gen X is the easiest generation to trigger because all they do is browse Facebook and Twitter. • Gen X: “We are into equality, we hate everyone equally.” Ys (Millennials) • Ys are not as interested in teamwork as other generations. • Ys do not have as strong a work ethic. • Ys are impatient when it comes to career growth. Zs • They don't do things that make a difference; they just sit on their phones. • They don't respect those who came before them. • They're always blaming other generations for their problems. Yes, all generations have strengths and weaknesses and added good stuff and stupid stuff to society. Which group are you in? Are you a typical groupie? Had enough? Want to know WHAT’s NEXT? I know I don’t.
