A man plays different generations reacting to receiving a 5% anniversary salary increase while sitting at a desk. Millennials are incredulous, Gen X feels underappreciated, boomers celebrate modestly and suggest buying steak, while Gen Z leaves after six months. The joke contrasts stereotypical generational attitudes toward work, pay and loyalty.

5%?! Is this a fucking joke? That is a- that's not even covering inflation! Oh, anniversary salary increase came in. Please find an attached letter confirming your recent anniversary increase. 5% anniversary salary increase. 5%?! Excellent! Time to splurge out a new tie for my collection. Did you see how much we just got? Let's just increase my 401k by a percent I guess. Hi honey! Good! I just got a little raise. Maybe we can get the steak for tonight. Definitely not staying another year. Like after all that hard work, like... I don't deserve more, but better than nothing I guess. They gave me like 5% like how much did you get yours? Yeah, I'm great. I just got a raise so I'm feeling like a million bucks.
