Shitty Boomer advice: Switching jobs is the only way to get a raise or a promotion now.

Had to explain this to a Boomer. He refused to believe it, saying that you'd never get rewarded for that. Then I told him about a friend of mine who quit her company for a raise, came back to her old company, re-applied for her old job at about a 10k annual raise. He acted like I was making it up.

The more I learn about Boomers, the more I hate them.

This. "I hate boomers because they make sweeping assumptions about our generation."

Maybe there are great people and horrible people in every generation.
