The only reason this can be even slightly true is strictly because of age. We are ALL burnt out. They will be where millennial are in just a few years. We gotta stop this gen VS gen nonsense.
The kids aren’t alright—and neither are the millennials.
Obligatory:

But yeah. This is just a “most burned out generation so far…” thing.
Gen-x here. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m fried goddamn crispy.
Gen X are only just behind millennials according to the trash article, and Gen Z not far behind them.
Just sensationalist generational-war crap to keep us from the class war… Standard stuff for Fortune.
“About 66% of millennials report moderate or high levels of burnout, according to a recent report from Aflac. Gen X trails closely behind with a reported burnout rate of 60%, and Gen Z follows, with a rate of 56%"
Anyone have a non paywalled link?
Millennial here. Fuck this shit - our enemy is the ultra rich and shitstains that abuse power. Pitching generations against eachother is counterproductive.
Breaking through these made up barriers is the best thing we can do in the US right now to fight those jackasses and their tyranny.
Nope we’re not doing this again. It’s not like that. Were all equally fucked on average. Let’s not be crabs in a bucket.
But… but… I’m a lobster and she’s a crayfish!
That right!
And you call this gestures vaguely around a bucket‽ More like some kind of high walled vessel.
It’s a safety basement. We’re in it because of safety!
Everyone is fuck this gen war bait and fuck fake journalist
Instead of the class war, fuck billionaires
GenX here. We plan to work full time until we are dead. We have no retirement savings. Get bent.
if you don’t have any savings, that’s on you.
As a millennial I give zero fucks about this generational shit with those who come after us. Gen Z and Alpha have the same shit sandwich we do, with their own special horrors we didn’t grow up with. We should be working with them to make this better for all of us who come after the Boomers and Gen X.
This headline reads like “kids these days can’t get off their phones” as if the Boomers who wrote it aren’t sending iPhone gift cards via Facebook messenger to a Nigerian prince.
But which generation whines the most? I’m voting boomers
Who even cares anymore. They’re decrepit now and the real problem has always been the ruling class.
The most burned-out generation yet.
yeah. the energy and determination of youth has kept GenZ from burning out yet, but they went through covid during what should have been the peak years of their life.
on the other hand, us Millennials are cursed with remembering how things used to be better. sometimes I wish I didn’t.
Turns out being part of a “sandwich” generation is not as tasty as the term implies.
This is a new term to me can you expand please?
It was in the article, it refers to a generation who is burdened with caring for both their parents/grandparents and their children.
Hey that’s me and I’m not a melenial z or boomer
Didn’t know being mentally unwell is a competition, but bring it on
Call forth the therapists and let them do battle for our honor
Divisive shitty title
Agreed. I hate the whole generational divide that keeps being pushed by media outlets. There are so many overlapping generations occurring concurrently, that it is essentially a completely meaningless title.
Fuck this whole shitting on the younger generation shit. It’s bullshit and everyone knows it.
I’ll admit I am pretty fucking annoyed by how much fash sympathy there is in gen Z. We were so close to actually being able to make a pretty big political swing to the left swing and they kind of fucked it up in the worst way possible.
