Quote:Despite their growing influence and responsibilities at work, Gen Xers are most overlooked for promotion and have been the slowest to advance. We found Gen X leaders on average had only 1.2 promotions in the past 5 years, significantly lower than their younger millennial counterparts (1.6 promotions) and more senior baby boomers (1.4 promotions) during the same period of time.

Gen X'rs are approaching their 50's and they are in 51% of leadership positions? They are barely breaking 50% and they are set to retire in 10-15 years. The reins should have been being handed over years ago. Also, that article doesn't bother making any distinction between leadership positions. 2 years I read an actual study (not an MSM article interpreted by a journalist) that stated that Gen X'rs are being passed over for leadership positions because of the mistaken assumption that millennials are more tech savvy and aware of modern trends, which your article reinforces. Keep up, bro. I would go find the study, but what's the point? You can't even read your own article that supports what I'm saying.

"I would go find the study, but..."  
Yawn. Of course you won't. 

Congratulations on cherry picking a paragraph of something that sort of supports the hyperbole you were so quick to backpedal from while the rest of the article does the opposite. 

Regardless of this study, your long lost study, or any other -  the notion that Gen X is being severly marginalized is overblown.  As is the notion that there is some great risk involved. But people just love to have some [BLEEP] to be afraid of, so ... fear on.
