    I had a pipe burst last year and it was a whole thing. The deconstruction team was led by a millennial and he had three gen zers working with him. They were amazing and so communicative.

    The reconstruction was a young boomer and a couple random teams he contracted out to. Getting anything was like pulling teeth. He seemed frustrated by the questions I had after he offered nothing.

      Boomer:

      • Expectations: High
      • Reality: High
      • Complains loudly when things don’t work

      Millennial:

      • Expectations: High
      • Reality: Low
      • Things suck, late stage capitalism. Say nothing, quiet quitting.

      Gen Z:

      • Expectations: Low
      • Reality: Low
      • World is on fire, everyone knows it. Might as well vocalize it while collecting a paycheck.

      Man, I hate it so much when people get pissy when you just ask normal information questions. Definitely a boomer-and-older thing IME.
