  • We’ve seen the same issues with hockey. The use of plastics in shoulder and elbow protections versus the older leathers and felt padding. When delivering a hit both players feel it, today not so much as a plastic shoulder goes into a face it’s more one way.

    As much as they have been changing the rules, a crazy part of me wonders if less equipment might help more, like those old leather helmets. Would players not be hitting as hard?





  • I’m speaking to #2 in the article and how some of differences in communication styles in my workplace that caused fiction between millennials and older Gen’s especially those in industry not sittings at laptops or into IM or facetime.

    They are usually doing sales on the road or building things in their shops. The customer service team gets frustrated they can’t get instant answers by email but they won’t try other methods of reaching the customer. Phone is what I choose as it is the one thing we all have versus are they using and actually checking, texts, whatsapp, Telegram, signal, FB Messenger, Kik, snap, facetime, zoom, teams, google meet, twitter, Etc.

    As old as phone is, it’s something that will cut through those other questions. So it’s not always generational it can be situational too.


  • I’ve just started watching Hacks. They do a great job of highlighting the differences between Z and boomers.

    The things that were just plain terrible in the workplace the boomers just lived with and worked around like sexual harassment horrified and shutdown the Gen Z character, while the boomers just figured ways around it best they could being woman without much say in their times. They were laughing about it in retrospect, especially rejoicing in the sexual harasser boss being dead.

    Those women put up with a lot of sh8t and trail blazed for their time. That’s not to say any of it was right. As a Gen X it’s interesting the different worlds we all have been raised in.

    I’m pretty laid back about most things in life but I found I’m not interested in wearing skulls or decorating with them. Not sure where it came from but it’s just a weird quirk I decided to listen to.

    I guess I figure there will be plenty of time later to be one.
