Biggest Political Loser

If I were an optimist, I would start this out in reverse, but since I am not, the first category I will tackle is 2023’s biggest political loser.

Biggest Political Loser  —> Millennials

Am I a millennial? Yes, but try not to take that as bias. This year is going to be hard for my generation. For those of us that came to the workforce in the early 2010s, we have only known one thing: up and to the right. Life has been good as we have come to our professional lives during one of the longest bull markets in history. We don’t know pain; all we know is fluff and excess.

You can see this by looking closely at the last couple of years. There was so much bloat in companies across the country. Many had departments that didn’t add much tangible value. People assumed they deserved a job. In most cases, finding work was easy, and millennials were never put in a situation where they struggled to find one. Workers whose goals were far more concerned about “work/life balance” rather than “I need to figure out how I will feed my family.”

These people:

I am not trying to insult this person directly, but more an attitude to the way work life is supposed to be. A sense of entitlement to what they deserve that no former generation had before them; when life was hard.

My prediction is that 2023 is the first time that this group of people will get crushed. The economic environment will kill the fluff from companies that will render executives to look at the value created by each employee. This will remove departments whose sole existence is to virtue signal. They have not known pain; unfortunately, I predict they will learn this year.
