This is really an interesting point.
W/o doubt younger ppl would judge this completely different and would state, that they cant live w/o social media and their "friends". In older times this friend was called "Harvey" and was sidekick from Jerry Lewis. Today its a must to show off at any time at any location with any z-prominent person. Fuq dat and get off my lawn! Sometimes I miss hours and hours of life chats onto referring platforms, today I use sometimes Discord for some of my interests. Too sad that we are almost into too different times of the world to get together to discuss this and other stuff live, just thinking.

Social Media is poison. Plain and simple.
It is somewhat akin to slowly administered, arsenic poisoning in that it creates a cascade of seeming idiopathic maladies that degrade the body and its systems before it finally kills it, entirely. FB is the biggest problem and perpetrator of the ills in our society as it has given a global platform to every idiot, passive-aggressive personality, and other nonfunctioning person who, in past times, would have only tortured their family and others in close circle. Thanks Zuck, you f**k.

I'm OK. Waiting for spring forward and the return of my sunny disposition. I'm so done with this nonsense. Hope you're well.

Millennial here, hell almost Gen Z. 100% agree with the comments in regards to how your parents raised you. Don't think it has to do with generational as much because there are plenty of gen x & boomers that are glued to their devices as well. Those that constantly seek approval from others are the biggest offenders for the abuse of social media. Without the need for approval the "need" to post on social media dwindles.
As to the job interview and glued to their phone comments, why the hell does it matter. They could be reading something pertaining to the position, would you still berate them? If I'm waiting for a while I'm not just going to stare off into space, I'll preoccupy myself. Now those abusing use of their phones during work hours is completely different, but people seem to assume too much these days. Judgement happens from all fronts, I'm constantly teaching boomers basic computer functions and you don't see me bitching lol. |

![]() My favorite with the elders and IT is when employees will say "I'm too old to learn that, I'm just not good with technology"... well maybe you should retire then since computers have been a part of your job for over 20 years now. ![]() |

Yeah IT is a sore subject around here lol. I'm upper management at my company, but since I am young I get sucked into helping those who can't figure it out. Like I said, not mad about it and don't care enough to judge. Just two sides to every coin. What I don't like is teaching something twice, that grinds my gears. Ask once, completely fine I'll show you and help, after that it should be on you. |

We had a few live interviews into the past, and all guys with non-silenced cell phones were out instantly. If your social life has to stand above the real life, your way went at a certain point wrong.
