    Not in workplace, but seeing older people in my country fetishizing suffering and injuries during work, and thus them throwing a temper tantrum every time workplace conditions improved, or the worst thing: not getting covered in oil during office work, and blaming said office workers for economic downturns for “being a deadweight on the economy”, and effectively calling them not workers. All while fetishizing CEOs of companies that do “real work” because they sometimes photo themselves in a designer-made “dirty” worker’s clothing (which costs like thousands of dollars) on the construction site.

    One of the most ghoulistic such incident was under a news report of a female employee cutting her finger off at a quite infamous Hungarian supermarket franchise, and how her bosses didn’t let her to leave for the hospital. One such boomer said it was right for her bosses to stay, because it’s just a “minor injury”, and scars from it would be cool to show for crying little boys that injured themselves during play. Everyone but other boomers bodied him, but you have to remember our country is being shaped for these very boomers that won’t live for very long, but are insisting on passing their trauma onto the younger generations.
