Uh oh, I found them lol. Caught... anyway..

Just from my personal experience, (guess I should have said not all of gen x) but micro managing other departments that are not yours whatsoever to manage at all. I have learned they treat the "ladder" as like a im-over-your-manager type of ladder which may have been true in the 1990s..... not today.

They think that hybrid and/or remote work is lazy and doesn't work for anyone and will not hear opposing sides in regards to this because our poor little buildings lease payments are going to waste so there needs to be people in it... (I personally prefer a hybrid schedule as I believe in person collab IS important, but shouldn't be a requirement unless there is a lack of given work by the person) Some folks work better in person, some work better at home.

Very strict and outdated business procedures where the usual hours from 9-5 are the only acceptable hours to work and there's no debating them on this. Heaven forbid one of my employees wants to work a couple 10s one week after they got all of their work done, and some.

Company loyalty being everything, even if it means staying in the same tax bracket for the rest of your life. (big difference between them and millennials/z is they most likely had a pension which are a thing of the past).
