Great story. It also provided a more solid idea for a story that's been swimming around in my head for the past few years, which is the opposite, or hacks that I use as a 29-year-employee to fit in better with the millennials that I work with.

Good point about upspeak in particular. Despite your caveat, I do tend to dismiss whatever someone says when they do this. It is almost always young women and I have told my daughter not to do this on multiple occasions.
