Most middle managers I know are in their thirties and forties. So Millennial or maybe Gen-X but definitely not "Boomer".

To quote the Princess Bride, "you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means".



I'd say this of low- or first-level managers, but not the middle layers.

Those are filled with people who are clinging to their roles well past their usefulness, because even though they're ruining social supports like Medicare and Social Security by pulling out multiples more funds than they ever contributed, they also failed to save anything of their own or are otherwise refusing to retire and leave the workforce (even though they've already started receiving "retirement" benefits).


> they're ruining social supports like Medicare and Social Security by pulling out multiples more funds than they ever contributed

FYI, people don't get to "pull out" funds from social security. You get paid what the government computes you'll get.

> they also failed to save anything of their own or are otherwise refusing to retire and leave the workforce

So which is it? They failed to save therefore they can't retire, or they could retire but are "refusing to"?
