A former coworker recently noticed that the young people in his office didn't seem to be doing happy hours anymore. He figured it was just a case of teetotaling Gen Zers, which is probably healthy, but still, it felt a little sad to imagine that kids these days weren't having as much after-work fun as he used to. But in the middle of his lamenting, a terrible thought crossed my mind: They probably are doing happy hours; they're just not inviting him. He's married, in his 30s, and has been a middle manager for a while now. His 20-something underlings might not want to make a habit of knocking one back with the boss — if anything, they're probably out complaining about him.
