I'm 40 and have worked with plenty of people in their early 20s, one engineer who joined my company at 19. They seem completely well adjusted, smart, eager to grow and learn, and the only distinct difference I notice which maybe could moonlight as seeing them as annoying is that they ask for raises, are demanding, and know what they deserve and won't deal with bullshit.

Those are great features, and I've learned so much from the younger people I work with that I really don't get this "entitled child-like millenial/zennial" meme that keeps going on.

This doesn't seem to be a problem in tech, maybe it's in other more mainstream industries?

the article is literally about people in tech, on top of that spotify, youtube, twitter google all having their issues with handling dissenting opinions.

I get that - I was arguing that dealing with dissenting opinions has nothing to do with the age/generation of the people.

I think it has more to do with corporate structures set up to look like democracies when they absolutely are not. That's not the IC's fault, it's the company's so they should have to figure it out.

I mean lack of protection for employment seems to be the essence of cancel culture. I suspect that this overprotection of children stems from the (often unrelated) fears of the parent, such as lack of social welfare and social services seen in other countries.

The world is pretty offensive if you listen to what people get offended by, like police shootings.

This whole panic about "sheltered millenials" or whatever seems to be projected from boomers (and older) who refuse to admit how poorly society functions compared to the idealistic but anemic view through the lens of private media (universally owned and operated by older generations).
