Hard to not read “youth positive culture” as ageist

Somehow we live in the times where “OK Boomer” is a youth-positive culture. #bebest

Gird your loins. My agency used that language and then "laid off" the oldest people in the company. The oldest person is now 42.

“Youth-positive culture” rubs me the wrong way.

like

How about: At the outset (okay, we’ve missed this boat for the last decade and change, but never mind) better aligned (well, we couldn’t be less aligned, could we?), buoyed (as opposed to what, sunk?), by a youth-positive culture (hi there, anyone out there interested in an age discrimination lawsuit?). Sound reasonable?

I interpret it this way: “I have no idea what to say, so I’m going to spout a bunch of currently popular corporate bullshit in a desperate effort to sound relevant and hope no one notices how pathetic I really am.”

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

They literally got offended and stared at me for asking about WLB...

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.
