I've done it now!

Not your problem is it? Unless maybe you own the business. The young millwright they started hiring in the mill were experts at drinking coffee, texting, and telling you how to do the job. My boss would keep them in the shop because they would either refuse to do the job or mess it up to milk out overtime. I got to the point I wanted to chock someone so instead of retiring at my planned 55 I bumped it up to right before I hit 53. After 33 years the job I loved wasn’t fun anymore.
It can be. I am in a position where I supervise these folks and it can be like walking on eggshells. You say something they don't like and they go over your head with complaints. I am also in the position top beat them at their own game, instead of saying anything Ill just hit them with disciplinary paperwork... another trend is they quit when they arent having fun, they quit easier than my generation did when we were their age.
