It's really funny how the younger people are creating derogatory terms about older people. It's also applied to people who actually aren't baby boomers, too. And they're repeating this, because the title of the article had it in the sub-title [1], and I found it off-puting. But hey, I'm just a sensitive old person.

Maybe need to expand their DEI trainig.

As a non-sensitive old person and engineer, I find it hard to defend Gartner - it’s basically an organization devoted to propagating hype. FOMO as a service, essentially. “Boomer Relics That No Longer Make Sense” is a good description. Whether younger generations will be smart enough to reject it is another question. Middle and upper management are its own distorted thing separate from boomers.
