The current generation isn't as adept at dealing with workplace conflict and stress as those in their 40s and 50s, and it's difficult for them to cope with overbearing superiors who demand long hours and a high level of performance, then expect everyone to go out drinking afterwards.

    so - why dont all these shenanigans STOP. people dont want to work for overbearing superiors AND go out drinking at the expense of their families. i think this generation learned from their own fathers how not to do it.

    The older bosses that I know seem to be very lonely and closed off people. They feel that being commanding and surrounding themselves with younger people makes them feel good. Obviously they don't care whether or not those people actually want to be there.
