I was the Wise Old Owl of my class in 2017. Loved it! Don’t know how wise I was/am but I was the oldest. Also the most senior!

Rumor on the street is that the baby went to HR and screamed age discrimination. I don’t think the koolaid day had much to do with it. 25 yo with 40 possible years here. Wagering he’s going to get a type and get picked up to dress like the crew of the Titanic.

I remember hearing this rumor about a couple classes behind me too (2017 hire). It is probably either more common than you think or the rumor is just a good one to spread around...

I’m sure it has happened before and it will happen again. From a credible source, this new Baby is a special kind of outlier and pot stirring problem. 5 & 20 at this point but we all have to fly with this new normal
