Can't find the clip of the toddler asleep trying to scroll down a (non-existent) screen in his dreams.
That's simultaneously funny as hell, and horrifying as hell...

I've noticed this a lot for like a decade now. Even young adults do it. They'll walk up to you and start having a conversation at you while you aren't even looking at them, or are talking to someone else. It's truly bizarre. It happened especially often when I ran a Gamestop years and years ago. I would be talking to a customer or training an employee and would realize I had some dweeb standing behind me talking at me. Like they'd be mid-conversation and I'd turn around like "excuse me, what?"
Gamestop's clientele are especially pathetic though. All manner of nerds, geeks, dweebs, overweight men who think they're women, etc.
Kids though are especially bad because they'll get mad when you ignore them. Which is what I do now, if someone waddles up and talks at me, I ignore them like I don't know they're there until they properly try to get my attention.

It's pretty degenerate. Younger kids aren't learning more stuff, they're just learning different stuff. This makes sense at some level. However the things they're discarding are core life skills, or at least by extension skills that are required to have a functioning civilization.

Except it isn’t just younger generations at fault. The amount of time that gets wasted at my job because the old fucks don’t want to learn how to use self service password reset is staggering. Updates to applications, a new version of Windows, anything that changes or shifts the way they do things even a few pixels different, and they can’t function and the sky is now falling. Someone queue up the “I was ready for the world to be evil, but never this stupid and gay” meme.

Most people are retards and always have been. The difference is parents, peers and bosses were allowed to say it out loud and at least try to correct it. And retards maybe got weeded out of the gene pool more often than they do now. We're living in a mashup of the Matrix and Idiocracy, but there is no blue pill.

My point was that it's at both ends. Basically Gen X and Millennials are getting squeezed by idiots who can't remember their passwords at both ends now.

People. Just write the password down. And, I like to tape it to my monitor.
The worst thing for my technical skills has been leading people. It kills the time you’d normally spend learning a new skill. I’ve tried to augment that outside work but I have other things constantly tugging me too.

This.
Boomers won't fucking die, they just work to leech every economic unit of value out of us to prop up their lifestyle.
So now all the women have to work and no one is raising the kids, so they get an iPad shoved in front of them and become leeches themselves.

If you're the natural leader in your office/setting - just sounds like you need to be trained yourself. As I would assume its just the delegation of duties that is slowing you down from own work. But this all comes down to you actually being a manager so that its worth your time/money in the first place.

Yeah. I do my best. And to take on smaller technical jobs when I can to lighten load, but I spend a lot of time on the shop floor just making sure people are not being held up by some barrier or just doing in the moment training myself for younger/less experienced employees.

Fuck off with this shit. Boomers area product of the generation that raised them; a generation that told them to go get rich off the greatness of post-war United States supremacy. Now their whiny ass kids are begging them for a handout and when they say "go earn it like I did" they get told to die. Like you or any other human being would give up the jobs or real estate that they have because the mewling generations after you keep complaining that life isn't fair and blame you instead of going and doing anything productive themselves.
