Yeah I don't have dialect pretty much

It’s about 80% of young urban Germans I know whose grandparents have a strong regiolect that they can understand, but not produce. I find that super unfortunate, but I do hear a lot of strong dialect from young people in rural areas, so I hope it’s a problem over exaggerated by a selection bias.

And my coworker has only been here around a decade, so it’s still there somewhere

Those grandparents did not understand, notice, care or resist the eradication of regiolects, I assume, but now it seems almost too late. I do not really understand Plattdüütsch (Lower Saxon language turned regiolect) anymore.
