How are you all handling growing old?

Me, not too good. Well, it finally happened...

Powers that Be at our organization just brought it fresh blood, and I do mean fresh.

My new supervisor is college age, and although the walk and talk of this individual shows the lack of sophistication that comes with experience, looking over the work portfolio and project reports humbled me.

And I don't like it.
And get off my lawn.

Any advice? (And yes, I already have my burial plot picked out).

We may not like it (I do), but AP is the definition

I discriminate by age as well, it is tough.

Bitches can be from 26-40 years old if I am to be seen in public with them

@KeyOrisha.

It's not about speaking up, it's about delivering on performance. I would not put up with any kind of crap from anyone younger or older than me unless the could actually meet or surpass the level of work production, coordination, communication and efficiency that I have striven for in my career.

To put it in a way you may understand, let's pretend I'm a seasoned studio musician who has been working hard and consistently. Then a young "Ray Charles" or "Stevie Ray Vaughn" or "Wolfgang Amadeus" rolls in. This person gets the big name on the album job, and you complain, then you hear them play and you know you have reached your peak is this person will surpass you.

i'm actually working less, getting more work done and getting paid more when I am older. Experience counts. There are lots of young blood in the corporation working longer hours and trying to get a hand of it just like when I was young lol...

@Burn.

I'm not technically "worried", I just thought it was a joke that this fresh face came on board and will be running big projects at my department and bossing us old timers around.

But like I've been trying to communicate, this person's take on improving department's performance and fresh perspective already has produced results that have turned me into a believer, and a believer in "new blood" to re-energize a corporation.
