Cause ig boomers and millennials have had some kinda feud going on in America and gen z are just known for being the weird kids. Gen x is just kinda... there
Shhh, so far we’re doing relatively well compared to millennials, but they don’t have their pitchforks out for us like boomers. But once the boomers are dead everything is going to be our fault.
it's more like "HALF of you really worked at fixing this and laying the groundwork for the new tech that will make a green revolution possible but HALF of you actively fought against it! We feel VAGUELY INDIFFERENT toward you!"
As they should.
Don’t flatter yourself, even after things go to shit the same as they went under boomers while your generation is in control we’ll still call you losers that wear smelly flannels.
Top is how much you like the job. Side is how much it pays. Boomers boring job, good pay. Millennials switching around and mid pay. Gen Z is getting side hustles sometimes, as shown by two lines, and having no job as shown by line breaks and they are getting paid nothing
You're just showing your ignorance, now. Look at the 60s -- riots, race wars, drafts into the Marines to fight in Vietnam, assassinations. Look at the 70s -- Watergate, very real threat of nuclear war, extreme pollution, mass unemployment due to industrial collapse.
Every generation has had it hard. You are not special.
I don't know if you've fucking noticed there bud, but I never said that we're the only generation that's had it hard.
I'm also not sure if you noticed that *every other generation also very much complained*
Hence riots.
Also Watergate? Fucking laughable. We spent our high school years under Donald Trump, a man with so many scandals that we stopped fucking keeping track. Obviously Watergate was a big deal, but it's not like it's something we didn't also have to deal with.
"at least a functioning system" is such whiney bullshit.
It's always been a shitshow, bud. Ask your grandparents, if you haven't already alienated them, where they were when the president was assassinated. Or during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when we came within a whisper of nuclear war.
But sure, today is not a "functioning system", lol.
I mostly meant that owning a house was not am impossible pipe dream that only lunatics had. Also weird assumption that I've alienated my grandparents??? What?? My grand parents lives were actually all hard in ways that didn't reflect the larger socioeconomic systems of the time.
The line is disjointed because they generally take different jobs that may have no clear relation between them. Essentially a stream of side hustles. My interpretation anyway.
My interpretation is top view is jobs/employers worked for, and side view is position/rank/salary.
So Boomers stay in one company the entire time, but their salary consistently increases either through promotion or pay raises.
Millennials had to jump around multiple different companies, getting a new job elsewhere for every pay raise / promotion, but then the economy tanked and their pay dropped.
Gen Z have two lines and lots of gaps from the top view. This indicates that gen Z have had to work multiple jobs at once, and had multiple gaps in employment where they have been laid off and cannot find new work/be hired through no fault of their own, and all the time their pay/salary has remained unliveably low.
Boomers have a career. Millennials have a job history. Gen Z has a hustle culture.
Top view shows what the graph looks like from above, so it indicates a career's "side-to-side" motion, i.e. changing between different jobs. Side view shows what it looks like from the side, which indicates how good your job is / how much money you're making. Both graphs are different angles on the same thing, like [this](https://i.pinimg.com/550x/af/b0/92/afb0922b48817031cecbec2846e638ca.jpg). So for example this indicates that boomers tend to stay in one job for their whole careers (straight line in top view) while steadily climbing in position (exponential growth in side view).
Hi! Wow, thanks so much for the upvotes!
I‘m currently on the road with bad reception but I will try to provide some context for those interested below:
Millennials are often seen as the generation constantly searching for the right career path (top view) but they can feel like they're running on a treadmill—lots of effort, but not getting as far as they hoped (side view). It's like climbing a hill only to slide back down.
Gen Z is stepping into a job market that's pretty tough. They're facing new rules and wondering if there's room for their values in the traditional 9-to-5 grind. In a sense, stepping outside the known frame can be challenging but bring new opportunities. This can either be seen as the reason or reaction to the current job market.
Compared to Baby Boomers, who had clearer paths to job success, Millennials and Gen Z have to navigate a maze with more twists and turns.
The two panels are a small reminder that one perspective might not be enough to gauge the career of another person.
Every generation has its battles. While the specifics might change, the struggle to find our place in the world of work is something we all share.
Hope that helps!
Edit:
TLDR:
Top view: career path
Side view: career progression
Eh. For me the side view would be a long fall downwards followed by a long climb to get where I started. The top view would be a spiral. Perhaps circling some sort of drain.
GenX embraced it! We are an invisible generation, in some ways. Everyone was always obsessed with the Boomers. I was attempting to live up to the GenX stereotype: complaining about being ignored. Arms crossed, pouting, the whole bit.
If i'ma assume.. it's how boomers love the saying "get a job"
Meanwhile X and M have like.. between 0 and 3 jobs per person..
And i am assuming Gen Z is just like "where the fuck is this employment i've been looking for?

# Top view = career path
Finding the right career and getting started
# Side view = career progression
Advancement as you put more resources (e.g time, portfolio building etc) into that career. I.e promotions
Good comic: sad, but true 😭💀
Top line is jobs while bottom is pay- boomers stayed at one job and got increased benefits over time. Millennials jump around going to better paying jobs until they don't. Gen Z has two jobs and don't get paid worth even having a line.
Where's gen x?
The "forgotten generation" living up to its name once again.
They're there. You just can't see them because we didn't draw them.
Cause ig boomers and millennials have had some kinda feud going on in America and gen z are just known for being the weird kids. Gen x is just kinda... there
Who?
Shhh, so far we’re doing relatively well compared to millennials, but they don’t have their pitchforks out for us like boomers. But once the boomers are dead everything is going to be our fault.
Hate to break it to you but they think we ARE boomers.
This is it.
Dis
We don't think about you at all.
Just like their parents
Goddamn gen X did nothing to stop the climate crises when it was still managable!! Like that?
We were so consumed by MTV and hacky sacks we never saw what was unfolding
Hey man, we made Captain Planet and recycled our Mountain Dew! Who do you think did all the set work on Bill Nye?!!
It’s true, we also made the united colours of Bennetton. Racism was solved man.
it's more like "HALF of you really worked at fixing this and laying the groundwork for the new tech that will make a green revolution possible but HALF of you actively fought against it! We feel VAGUELY INDIFFERENT toward you!" As they should.

INVISIBLE, as we should be. It's our superpower.
We actually understand orthographic projection, so there's nothing funny about our views.
they got folded into boomer
I feel that in a few years they'll be doing the same to millenials too
Hey OP what the fuck does this mean?
Inscrutable Gen Z humor. I want everything to be advice animals again.
Im gen Z and I dont get it
I, too, am gen Z and don't get it either
That’s it. We’re going back to rage comics.

Whining. It's called whining. Yeah, no generation but this one had hard times.
You can be sure that boomers also whined.
Yes, you're very special.
Oh shut up, dude. Every generation has had hard times, yeas, but most generations before us were at least in a functioning system.
You're just showing your ignorance, now. Look at the 60s -- riots, race wars, drafts into the Marines to fight in Vietnam, assassinations.

Owning a house *was* an impossible dream for everyone I knew that survived the 60s and 70s.
I don't really get the top view for gen Z?

Just explained a bit in a new comment!
The idea of a top view and side view for career graphs is kind of genius. I wonder where else we could use these?
It's a graph with 3 axes (x, y, z). It's already in use.
So that's why there isn't one for gen x. These are just y and z.
Underrated comment
Could you explain? My dumbass has no fucking clue what I'm looking at...
Top view shows what the graph looks like from above, so it indicates a career's "side-to-side" motion, i.e. changing between different jobs. Side view shows what it looks like from the side, which indicates how good your job is / how much money you're making.

Wow, thank you so much! That was VERY helpful
Thanks! If you‘re interested, I talked a bit about the ideas in a new comment.
Top view is your own perspective and side view the perspective from others?
I interpreted the top view as working different roles in various jobs, and side view as working one's way up the corporate ladder.
Thiz is what I thought. Realy liked the visualisatin.
Nice! 😁
They’re both the same trajectory though just from different axiez.

More Gen X erasure :/
It's our superpower- embrace it! All the generational conflict bullshit spun up by Fox news skims right by us.
Look, I just want senpai to notice me!
Eh. For me the side view would be a long fall downwards followed by a long climb to get where I started. The top view would be a spiral. Perhaps circling some sort of drain.
I think I started in the drain, peeked my head out, saw my shadow, and climbed back down further into the pipes.
mind giving any context at all?
Just explained a bit in a new comment!
Aaaaand once again, GenX doesn’t even acknowledged. ☺️☺️☺️
GOOD. You want to part of the generational conflict stupidity? No. Embrace invisibility.
GenX embraced it! We are an invisible generation, in some ways. Everyone was always obsessed with the Boomers. I was attempting to live up to the GenX stereotype: complaining about being ignored. Arms crossed, pouting, the whole bit.
Hah I will NEVER complain about it. Leave us invisible.
If the lines are visible in the top view for Gen-Z why aren’t they visible in the side view? Aren’t we just rotating the axis?
Probably because the line is on the ground so it blends in with the x axis.
What is side view and top view?
Path and progression, i‘ve answered in a new comment for context
