Gen X Is in Charge. Don’t Make a Big Deal About It.
The original “latchkey kids” are grown up, in the boss’s seat and ready to make the rules. If that’s OK?

Are they in charge? Doesn't seem like it in the U.S. The president is a boomer, his likely rival is a boomer, most of congressional leadership are boomers... it's boomers in charge. Can't wait until they die out.
They cover that in the article. They mean incoming people running companies. So the corporate world. Not politics. The article is about workplace environments.
Our prime minister in the UK is just a year too old to be a millennial (born 1980) and he’s still completely out of touch with reality.
That's because he's obscenely rich rather than his age though.
Tbth, as someone that has been dealing with “reprimands” for not coming back to the office as an elder zoomer - please gen X save us.
My life changed for the better in so many ways when it comes to my work/studies after Covid. I have ADHD but I can’t handle medications for it. Yet, I’m quite functional or “normal” but I physically cannot tolerate your standard corpo office.
WFH is my best way of working and seeing so many people push against it is depressing.
I just had to work with my doctor to fill out an ADA (American Disability Act) form to allow me to work from home. I've been working from home for three years and only needed it now. (I do have the disability, but this whole back to the office thing has been annoying.)
Research from Stanford points to generational divides on remote work. Workers over 55 (mostly boomers) prefer to work remotely around 35 percent of the time, while workers in their early twenties (Gen Z) preferred to be remote about 45 percent of the time and workers in their 30s and 40s preferred to work from home closer to half the time. In other words, Gen Xers have become the unlikely warriors for flexible work.
