Brad Stop bringing generational culture war nonsense into discussions like these.The oldest Millenial is now 43 and the youngest 28. The vast majority of S&P 500 company CEOs are over the age of 50. So many of the cultural decisions at companies are not being made by Millenials.It was the Silent generation that institutionalized the American Corporate hierarchy in the 1950s, the Boomer generation popularized the open-concept office in the 1960s and 70s, and both generations wanted pensions for being a lifer at a company. Gen Xers perpetuated and financialized all of those things, replaced pensions with 401Ks, and ended wage increases indefinitely. Millenials began demanding more from their workplaces in the absence of stability and loyalty and unions. The workplace is changing with its workforce as it always has.
