I don't understand how boomers can make 3x more than me but they still can't figure out how to throw together a slide deck that actually makes sense, is free of grammatical errors, and actually uses charts/images instead of 300 words crammed onto one slide.

They have more experience, more emotional intelligence, more company knowledge, more overall maturity, who cares about a power point? They should have delegated that to someone like you, whose main talent is to take all their experience and strategic knowledge and make it “pretty”

Forget pretty lets just start with concise and legible 😂

The things that got them to their level (skills, relationships, tenure, being in the right place at the right time) aren't the ones that make pretty presentations. Different era, different tech, different rules. Gen Z will be talking about all of us with the same disdain in 5-10 years. Way it goes.

I’m a Genx. I didn’t grow up with technology. I learned along the way and happy to do so. Some older ppl just don’t want to get with the times and evolve I just don’t understand. Lots of them are super smart, experienced and knowledgeable for a lot of things but refused to learn even the basic for softwares and apps
