It started with younger millennials. Boomers couldn’t actually make an argument for work quality being different so they started using terms like “anti-social behavior” and “doesn’t integrate with company culture”, you can guess who created those terms.
I think it started earlier than that, with Gen X’ers. I’m pretty sure Boomers faced the same stigma when they were young, but it is easier to remember the millennials getting shit on because it was all via online news articles.
Gen x and boomers were never part of the mass immigration movement taking over their jobs. You could argue the blue collar gen x and boomers got hit by outsourcing but H1Bs didn’t start until 1990 and didnt blow up until 2005. Same with offshoring of white collar jobs.
Au contraire, boomers and gen x were the first ones to see their jobs destroyed. The offshore movement of manufacturing started in the 1980s, and that hit boomers, and overlapped into gen x. The working class boomers and early gen x were hit very hard. Not a few of them are now dead as a direct result of this due to suicide and drug addiction.
You can go back even further, to the 1970's. Look up the "Rust Belt" of America. That's when all those single-income factory jobs were destroyed because the owners could save a few pennies pulling up stakes and moving the entire company overseas. Company owners got to have their sweatshops while America switched from a manufacturing nation to a retail nation.
This deepened the rot of feminism because oops retail doesn't pay nearly as well, so it increased the demand for two-income households, which meant fewer stay at home moms to properly raise the kids, etc.
