Codger And Me

I'm a 22-year-old guy, but I look 14. Boomer co-workers often use me as an example of a bad millennial, attacking me for Dread Smartphone Overuse (conveniently forgetting that our work requires phone use for comms). Older co-workers often launch into unsolicited 40-minute lectures on the "college path" I should take. (Already graduated, thanks!) How can I gracefully deal with this demeaning treatment?

It's no surprise some of your older co-workers smear you as a "bad millennial."...
