The Boomer’s performative hobble encapsulates a bygone era's misguided devotion to presenteeism. This isn’t grit; it’s a symptom of a system that valorises self-harm over sensible working practices. Why do we still celebrate such outmoded, even dangerous, displays of supposed company loyalty?

Critiquing a man for working through discomfort is rich. It speaks to a soft generation unwilling to push through adversity. Durability, not delicacy, builds careers.
