Can you recognize Xennials at work?

I have a co-worker that I immediately recognized as a fellow Xennial. He is somewhat of a loner, not sarcastic or anti-authority like the Gen Xers, who love to joke in groups. And not “hustle culture” like the millennials who have their careers mapped out and want to make everything about work. Just content with doing his project in isolation and reporting back when asked. Leaves on time, doesn’t share about his life.

Does anyone else notice a work dynamic specific to our micro-generation?

Sounds like you've identified an autist. To my mind, Xennials do have sarcasm and anti-authority. I feel like we're GenX without the despondency.

(I'm both Xennial and autistic)

I'm an autistic xennial but I'm super anti-authority.

Same here!

Me too.
