I'm a millennial woman with male gen X and boomer direct reports at work. This is their strategy for literally everything. "But youuuuu do it so much beeeeeeeter....!!!!! (Whaaa, whaaa, work is haaaaaard...)"

My strategy is scheduling mandatory training meetings early Saturday morning for anything that can't be done because "Don't know how.. 🥺".
