Yeah from my perspective they did. Its satire so they hit on some stereotypes and tropes, but I felt they did a really good job at hitting some of the internal politics that goes on. I also know some professors who were put off by it.
I enjoyed watching for the filming locations - Washington & Jefferson and Chatham.

There was a short lived TV show called The Great Indoors that had a similar premise although the age gap was not that great. Early 20's techie office workers who know nothing about being outside meet early 30's adventure magazine writer who knows nothing about tech. Had some cute moments but only around for a year.
I think it would depend on how it was presented...by and large, the older generation is not portrayed very favorably in their dealings with younger hipsters.

I feel like that could be a limited-run series spinoff of The Office that deals with this crazy generational shift. From my years in higher ed, a lot of the workforce was either 25 or 50.

"When Generations Collide!" Would probably be an entertaining TV show although I'm sure they would present it as the older folks are dodering old idiots that are a step away from filling their Depends.

I like it. I've always "pushed back" on those catch-phrases by just using standard English usage to describe the same thing. Probably why I never became the CEO.
When I've been forced to use the catch-phrases I usually put a lot of inflection in my voice, or simply do the quote-unquote thing with my middle and forefingers.
I'll tell you the one that used to really bug me is "reach out." It's mainstream now, you can't avoid it. But years ago when "reached out" came into vogue I would opt for "call", "stop him/her in the hallway". or just "email." I couldn't "wrap my head around" "reach out." Sorry.

Yea...Current climate it is the "business gurus" who develop these management models and then attach a book to it telling you how great it is for EVERYTHING! I came up with my own management theory although I never got around to writing a book about it...I called it CSM (Common Sense Management)! Rule 1. Know your people, 2. Know your customer, 3. Know your product, 4. Know how you measure success, 5. Use the first four rules to adapt your processes to every situation.
Maybe I'll stick a pin in that idea and circle back later...That or maybe put it in the parking lot for later and maybe have some sidebar discussions with some of the stakeholders. Or maybe I'll just put it to bed. Haven't decided if the juice is worth the squeeze and besides, I don't have a lot of bandwidth left.
