Everyone's talking about Zillenials. Turns out my generation is not only the luckiest in the workforce, but is a ‘superpower generation’ too - and I’m not surprised. Zillennials, born anywhere between 1993 to 1998, have a unique position of being close enough to Gen Z that we can understand their strange language and behaviours, but with enough years behind us that our behaviour hasn’t been totally and irrevocably warped by the forces that f***ed up their youth.
