Overheard a senior person call a younger SE a 'snowflake' for asking about mental health support. Ouch. Are older generations less sensitive about these issues?

There is such a generational divide lately. Hate when a young person calls an older person, boomer and acts as though they are too old to understand anything. I also hate when an older person assumes a younger person has no work ethic or is lazy. We actually had HR do a presentation on working with different generations. It was eye opening and actually a fun training. I think the more we can learn from each other, the stronger we will be.

It’s just what they were taught. I wouldn’t say less sensitive, I would say more ignorant.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
