Millennials started the concept of work life balance, and quitting when you find a better job. Wtf is she talking about? Don't listen to people who try to shackle you to a desk, live your life.

Fuck generation theory. Hundreds of millions of people do not all feel the same way about work just because they all remember wanting Moon Shoes.

That sounds awful

As a millennial, no. No, definitely not. No.

she isn't a person she's a like a weird business magazine cover tulpa

"We millenials", speak for yourself I don't know anyone my age who is so stupid. Also, we knew what work-life balance was at *elementary school* what utter tosh, workaholics and overachievers always be workaholicking and overchieving...

It's astrology for people who can't count to twelve.

I call my GenX husband a Boomer every time he asks me how to do something on his iPhone. It infuriates him 😂

Weren't those generation groups primarily designed as "marketing segments"?

Yep. “Boomers are everything that’s wrong with society”—no, it’s the system, and people of all ages are involved in maintaining the corrupt status quo. It’s such a vast generalization that’s meaningless. It also reflects the corpo language of marketing (“males ages 18-34 will love it”). I hate it.

So glad to see other people finally say it.

What a loser.

As a millennial, I don't remember asking to have my entire life be a horrific grind for survival. I would be much happier... y'know, not working myself to death.

This is so funny because it could be copy and pasted from an article about millennials from 10-15 years ago. 😂 What a clueless clown.

That's a lot of extra words just to tell us you're a boot licker. 😐

Stupid out of touch rich people say what?

bsky.app/profile/shel...

Try that on an assembly line

"Because we simply cheated ourselves the whole way down the line." youtu.be/rBpaUICxEhk?...

Nice try, capitalist pigs

This is a dogshit take.

ok but that's bad. you get that that's bad right

I think she means Influencer.

I remember when people were saying this exact thing about Millenials

"we millennials" hello fellow kids

Boo! delete this trash.

Good little slave

Hahaha fuck that. I work to live not live to work.

I agree, because we're brainwashed. We have intense loyalty to careers and companies that almost never reciprocate and will drop you the second it's convenient. Gen Z have the right idea.

Who is this ”we” kemosabe? I’m aware of how fucked up expectations got, but that’s one of the reasons why I’m not at peace.

She can't imagine anyone's brain working very differently from hers.

Hi, I'm a millennial with ADHD. Don't listen to this idiot just because they're so broken they think work is all that matters. Make time for life outside of work and do not tolerate people who tell you otherwise.

No. This is trash.

Successful millennial here thinking you should shut the fuck up. 🫡

I'm an elder millennial and this lady sucks shit. She should go to therapy instead of trying to hide from her problems by being a workaholic.

Nobody gives a fuck you worthless ant

Graduate of the Jeff Bezos School of Good Astronauting, presented by Amazon Web Services, should sit this out.

You sure you are not a CEO.

Who TF is we?????

What a stupid mantra to believe. It seems there are dumb people in every profession, astronauts included.

Welcome to being the new boomers, shitheel

Cool, and when you die, you'll be replaced faster than the ink dries on your death certificate for someone else who will do it for less and no one will remember who you were bc you never did anything but work Sounds like brainwashing to me

Calling a suborbital space tourist an astronaut is like calling someone who ate a croissant a pastry chef

She is a Orginaught

“Astronaut” She doesn’t speak for millennials, just to be clear.

10-15 years from now, Millennials will be posting about work-life balance, and Gen Z will be complaining that Gen Alpha gives up too easily.

Even Buzz took time out to punch assholes.

She's an astronaut exactly how Stockton Rush is a submariner. Well, not exactly. Not quite yet. Give her a minute.

"we???"

What is this Boomer shit?

Fraud astronaut

Please go on a spacewalk and take off your helmet.

Tbf, for millennials there is no work-life balance, but thats because we were conned into believing that working hard got you somewhere and we're now working non-stop just to pay rent (we can't afford to buy!)

Lick that oligarch boot. Yum!

All that work to probably expire early in a penis shaped rocket.

on*

"I would never be at peace if I wasn't working so hard" Of course not. If we're not working at least 2 jobs/a job and some side gigs, there's no way to pay the astronomical rent on our vastly overpriced shithole apartments or pay our horrific medical and/or tuition bills, or buy avocado toast. 🖕🙄

is she trying to get people to do unpaid overtime?

she is a fucking idiot if she thinks that.

Pathetic

You spent 10 minutes on a sub-orbital flight with Temu Lex Luthor. Get the fuck over yourself.

No.

I’m glad she is very passionate about her job but I’m very content being able to do things that aren’t my job sometimes

wait, your account is subtitled "The best of business since 1930" but that's not the best, that's the worst.

As a Millenial, fuck that shit. I ain't working a job that doesn't leave room for a life.

Torn because I believe your job is something you *should* work hard at but because you enjoy it, and never to the detriment of your own health. But people who say this are in a cult and do not work real jobs (jobs that help people)

Nah

Wut? No.

Jesus Christ

I worked full time, paid for my own schooling and had to commute by bus to a job in a different county. I stopped because I valued my time. What they never tell you about "the grind" is that it wears you down that why its called the grind. Now I work and pursue my passions at my own pace. Live happy

I work to live, not the other way around. My family is my life. If all I lived for was a job - that just isn't a life worth living to me.

She should get into heroin, do something interesting with her life instead of hoeing for Bezos.

what the fuck is wrong with this person

Sorry, no. The healthy way to handle the constant need to be doing something is to get a fucking hobby, not burn yourself out for a boss who thinks of you as a replaceable part of their profit machine.

We advised our zoomer kids not to put up with corporate bullshit and to leave any job that felt abusive. You get one precious life and slaving for insatiable overlords who don’t give a shit about you shouldn’t be the center of it.

Oh bullshit. That is pure oligarchial propaganda to encourage people to think that they are no more than worker drones, there to feed their lives to the churn to make extremely rich people more money. Have at it, GenZ, feel free to break the system. Regards, a millennial

Pathetic.

Don't speak for all of us.

She's the type that has someone do shopping and child raising FOR HER and screams at them.

Blue Origin is the Temu of spaceflight.

Her actual job is some tech startup, but Forbes knew "privileged tech CEO who went to the upper atmosphere for 10 minutes in Bezos' rocket says her generation should follow her example" wouldn't land as well.

This person cannot be mentally well or is just being paid to say this

As a millennial, I fucking refuse to throw my life away for some soulless corporation. I demand my free time for ensuring life is worth living. If you think your career is your life, you have something broken deep inside.

She is likely miserable in herself and workmis a distraction from that. Astronaut my ass, all of them have a real wonder for the world.

*barfs*

She's an astronaut in the same way I'm an airline pilot because I rode in a plane to Paris once.

"My pathology works for me!c

Cuz baby who is “we”

Many such cases

don't tell jay that. she's been trying very hard

man what

Millennials like to make out they are so hard working unlike others but it's utter garbage. And I'm a millennial. No generation has ever worked harder than any other, they've just worked differently because of progress.

shut the fuuuuuuuuck up loser

Fake

that attitude is not healthy at all, that is how you burn out. I'm glad Gen Z is seeing through this and hope more of them reject the idea of working yourself to death

Space Tourist promotes destroying yourselves so a billionaire can get even richer. Fuck off.

Millennial here. Nope.

Is she daft?! Boomers accused Millenials of doing the exact same thing. 🤨

Not everyone wants to burn themselves out by middle age to escape their demons, Jessica.

I am at peace when I am working less hard.

Yeah no. I’m not pledging alliance to my job. I know we’re not family and that you don’t give a shit about our struggling and suffering. You just want us to die for your investors. Fuck off.

what is this shit

Hey Fortune magazine, how about you, you know, Minecraft yourself and take out as many of the oligarchs with you as possible

nope. don't like that ☹️

Bahahaha are they really trying to spin Millennials as the nose to the grindstone workaholics after decades of calling us lazy and killers of all industry? Fuck off lol I'm on team Gen Z and Alpha. Work sucks and so do you.

We ain't falling for it any more.

get fucked.

Also what about people with disabilities? Mental or physical, not everyone can physically or mentally work that many hours. People NEED sleep, they NEED recreation to survive. Have you ever talked to someone in solitary confinement? How does thus person even function. it's propaganda anyway

Probably the worst take I've seen in a while, and definitely an uncommon one. Enjoying life IS THE POINT, ask elderly people what they regret in life, or what they said you should fight for. They all say to slow down and enjoy it because it's short. Not work it away until you die. Propaganda this is

Stupid ass bitch thinks some kid should dedicate their life to bagging groceries to pay the rent their mom charges in the same way she dedicates herself to her fake astronaut gig.

We Millennials? Who the fuck is we? I have a life-work balance. Life comes first

Millennials didn't say that. You did, because you bastards want to treat entire generations of human beings like replaceable, disposable cogs. Fuck you
