I’m 56. I’ve endured many conversations about the millennial new name for “Karen’s” which is supposed to represent my age group or younger generation who ‘behave,’ like a “Karen!”
The fundamental change, I see in the workplace, which no one seems to be talking about is mental illnesses !
I can see entitlement, it flows from my generation to millennials. I see it with elderly and anyone who has a moment of entitlement.
However, what I am seeing that seems to be more characteristic of their generation is mental illness. Autism, high functioning, autism, mental illness, low IQ sensitivity to emotion. It all seems to be characteristic of this generation.
Communication is not there strong point! Anyone else dealing with this in a daily basis?
I am seeing it in my workplace, I’m seeing it at restaurants with staff, at any type of service industry, it seems to be quite prevalent!
My name is Kevin. Can we pick a different like say Darren or Loren!
I always called them "Richard". Seems more fitting.
Ah yes, I know him, Richard Cranium! 😄
Lol “sorry!” I didn’t create it! Hahahaha
When my son first told me about Karen and Kevin, I didn’t know how to respond.
It’s now used in news reels, referenced in TV shows / movies, and on all social media. It’s absolutely insane the most insulting part of it is “ageism.”
The millennials are clapping back because of all the millennial jokes!
