I'm much healthier.
It's a *huge* multi-corp, and at least 1/3 of the employees are not US citizens, or contingent workers.
Almost everyone below the age of 45 is constantly staring at their cell phone screen while walking. At my regulation 120 paces-per-minute, it's a little frustrating.
One of my immediate co-workers did not recognize the majority of events/films/popular culture references that have taken place over the last 3T. He's 24.
Direct quote:"Why should I care about what happened before I was born?"
He was quite familiar with firearms, though.
Ask facetiously (he won't get it, but ...) if he's good repeating the things he doesn't know ever happened. If he says yes, do an eye roll and let him work on that for a while.
At least this job seems decent, by current standards. That's not much, but suckiness seems to be the new norm.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
