真實(shí)!千禧一代分享老一輩人不理解的東西
If you're a millennial, there's a decent chance you've been called lazy, stupid, entitled, or worse. There are lots of negative stereotypes about us!
如果你是千禧一代,你很有可能被說懶惰、愚蠢、自命不凡,甚至更糟。關(guān)于我們有很多負(fù)面的刻板印象!
Thousands of millennials started sharing the things they wished Older Generations knew. Here are some of the best responses:
成千上萬的千禧一代開始分享他們希望老一輩人知道的事情,以下是一些最佳回答:
1. "I'm not a tech wizard. I just know how to Google things."
我不是一個(gè)科技奇才,我只是知道怎么用谷歌搜索。
2. "The average millennial is 30 years old, not a teenybopper or college kid."
千禧一代的平均年齡是30歲,而不是青少年或大學(xué)生。
3. "Most of us don't want kids not out of selfishness but because we can't afford them."
我們大多數(shù)人不想要孩子不是出于自私,而是我們負(fù)擔(dān)不起。
4. "I can't afford to live on my own. I have a degree. I don't have kids, I don't have unnecessary extra expenses to cut out of my life. I just can't afford to live on my own. That's just how our economy is right now."
我無法負(fù)擔(dān)獨(dú)自居住,我有個(gè)學(xué)位,沒有孩子,沒有不必要的多余的開支來削減我的生活。但就是一個(gè)人住不起。這就是我們現(xiàn)在的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。
5. "The reason older people can get away with 'not being a computer/technology person' is NOT because technology is unnecessary. It's because you have your kids and grandkids to do it all for you. Stop shitting on technology and maybe just say 'thank you.'"
老年人可以逃避“做電腦/技術(shù)人員”的原因并不是因?yàn)榧夹g(shù)是不必要的,而是因?yàn)槟阌心愕暮⒆雍蛯O子孫女為你做這一切。所以別再說技術(shù)沒用了,簡單說聲“謝謝”吧。
6. "Jobs aren’t as stable as they used to be. We’re making WAY less money than before, it’s exponentially harder to find a job, and the expectations for the average applicant keeps rising."
工作不像以前那么穩(wěn)定了,我們現(xiàn)在掙的錢比以前少得多,找工作的難度成倍增加,對普通求職者的期望也在不斷提高。
7. "Most things millennials gripe about aren’t just whiny child BS, they’re legitimate issues. Unaffordable housing. Lower wages. Employers requiring more experience for 'entry-level' positions. These are real issues. Since the average retirement age keeps increasing, these issues will only get worse."
千禧一代抱怨的大多數(shù)事情不是胡言亂語,而是合情合理的。無法負(fù)擔(dān)住房。工資低。初級職位員工需要更多經(jīng)驗(yàn)。這些都是實(shí)實(shí)在在的問題。由于平均退休年齡持續(xù)增長,這些問題只會變得更糟。
8. "We got some really shitty advice, did everything we were asked to do, and when it didn't work, we got bitched at for not doing it hard enough."
我們接受了一些非常糟糕的建議,做了所有我們被要求做的事情,當(dāng)結(jié)果不如人意時(shí),我們又會被罵不夠努力。
Stop projecting societal frustrations on people who happened to be born in a different year than you, and realize that if you accept and address the real issues of societal change, we’re all better off.
不要再把社會上的挫折投射到與你出生年份不同的人身上,要意識到,如果你接受并解決社會變革的真正問題,我們都會變得更好。
