What's The Most Out Of Touch Thing Your Boomer Boss Has Said Or Done At Work?

It's no secret that when it comes to the workforce, boomers, millennials, and Gen Z'ers have quite a difference of opinion in how business should be handled.

Though it's not monolithic — and I can't stress this enough; obviously not everyone in each age group will follow the same stereotypes — those between 57 and 75 years old tend to be more traditional.

Sometimes, the traditional nature of boomers can feel...out of touch. It's something I've experienced myself. During a previous job, I was debating going back to school, and my boss told me, "College is a small cost for a large payout with a second degree."

I didn't have the heart to tell her that plenty of my friends had gone back to school and were nowhere near a better financial position. In fact, some are worse off with the second heaping of debt.
