     It seems these days, even the smallest issues ends up as a mental health issue, what happened to the idea we just get on with the job that needs to be done. Perhaps older workers are more resilient,

     Either that or young people enter the work place and find they have to 'actually work' rather than mess around and be disruptive, which seems to be common in schools, so they learn from a young age that you can get away with not paying attention in class. Do that in the work place you just annoy other people who are part of your team and just want to complete the task in hand but you have to pull your weight. As soon as you complain against the younger worker, rather than facing up, they cry bullying or other such excuse, when it is THEM who are the issue.

     Life is full of ups and downs, we just get on and deal with it,

     God help us if war breaks out and they get told they need to leave their beloved phones and other devices at the barracks.
