> I don't hate on generations, except for the boomer's, but that's only natural given the relationship.

As a millennial I don't hate on other generations. Except Boomers lol. I could find things to love and hate about generations, but ultimately it would largely be cherry picking bullshit.

Whenever I read one of these articles about workplace dynamics, particularly coming from America, what stands out to me isn't generational divides. It's capitalism and how much some people's lives are shaped by their workplace. Honestly, the "Suffie Awards"? Fuck that.

The article mentions PTO and remote as a problems. I manage a team of about 30 sw engineers, 3/4 of which are zoomers, the rest are millennials. In general there is no difference in how these two groups handle PTO and remote work because as a company and team we have a reasonable agreement. Here is how we handle it.

Take PTO. You don't need to tell anyone why, ever. (People still do because it's a habit from school, though I really don't think they should.) Communicate responsibly, meaning in advance when possible. I actually have to push people to take more PTO, like scheduling "no project weeks" so people don't feel awkward for taking vacation.

Work remotely if you want. From home, while traveling long term, from the beach this week. Go for it. If you can find a reason to be there for work, the company can help pay for it. Communicate responsibly.

The really hard thing about remote is time zones and communication that just can't be moved easily to async. And there are ways to deal with that as well.
