Yet, they have more years and because of that, more pay.
Sometimes face time =/= productivity. That seems to be lost on a lot of Boomers.

This is another thing I take issue with. Boomers claiming they did more work than we do know. As someone who relies heavily on e-mail and word processors, I simply cannot see how it would have been possible for the previous generation to do more work. I can instantly exchange documents and type documents as I go. If I had to wait for snail mail and secretaries to type up my documents, I would have a significant amount of down time.
Technology, while making work more efficient and less time consuming in some ways, also vastly increases my ability to multi-task and gain access to more work. I can sit at my computer for 8 hours a day and have an endless amount of work in front of me. This, as oppossed to dictating a letter, waiting for it to be types, sending it by snail mail, waiting for the reply, etc....
