A Butterflake is a person who believes in the past when there was security in jobs that
often included a paid retirement.
They
understand that
historically change has happened in the work place but they cannot accept that current events would effect them and they have no fallback plan. They are unable to adapt to the current, volatile business
environment. The concept of starting over is terrifying to a Butterflake and they do not evolve or think about diversifying themselves in any way.
Most of them are leveraged to the hilt. When they loose their job they cry about it and blame technology, the current president, China, immigrants, etc.
As the name Butterflake suggests, they are fragile. They typically are scared, weak and unprepared for a future they cannot adapt to. Butterflakes try to prove themselves by being extremely outspoken when expressing their point of view.
Butterflakes Politically: They lean right wishing to return society to a time they consider great. A time of good ol boys, cheap fuel, and racial segregation.
Butterflake Identifiers: They are easily duped into
conspiracy theory. They often horde guns and stockpiles of ammo. They put exhaust systems on their vehicles that make them louder. The concept of exercise and health isn’t something they concern themselves with.
Automation has completely changed our work place... Couldn't he see the layoffs coming? He really needs to
suck it up, stop crying and dig in. This new world is a
rough and tumble place. Adapt or die! What a butterflake!
