I don't exactly feel threatened from this member of teh stoopid

Wow. This Millennial has yet to be chewed up by the grinding gears of corporate America. It's so cute to hear how positive she sounds when speaking of what a go-getta she is. And to think she didn't use "OMG" anywhere in the article!

We all have stories about a loss of our identity to a Gen X'er. Whether they squashed our ideas, sabotaged our projects, or just simply bad-mouthed us for no apparent reason, they can always find something to deter us from success. This is not true of all Gen X'ers, just like not all of us are lazy, spoiled brats. Not all Gen X'ers feel threatened by us; there's getting to be less & less every day. However our motivation and tech knowledge seem to make many of them squirm. We are their replacements; we are a threat to their job.

Wow. It's underwhelming how non-threatened I feel by people like this.

They have such a comical idea of what actual importance looks like. It's like they have to pump themselves up with notions that everyone's just quaking at their awesomeness.

I wonder--will they ever wake up and perceive that what they always assumed was "jealousy" of them was in fact disbelief and scorn? Or will they, like their boomer parents, fellate themselves into irrelevance?
