Disrespectf to elders

I was thinking on these lines and found this reel (Zuckerberg reading my mind tbh) https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyuY8QSIyPa/?igsh=dnptamxjNXNxa3Rz Is it okay to seek respect just because we are older in age? It is something we have been taught since childhood

They want every word they say to be set in stone, they want us to obey them even if they have no idea of what they're talking about - because they "know more". Or even worse, they "know what's best for us". And if you eventually show them their thinking was wrong, man, why do you hate them so much? Didn't they raise you, feed you, etc etc

Its definitely not okay and shouldn't be a norm. The only thing you can respect EVERY elder for is living more than you thats it. Every other thing is case to case and cant be generalized. Same goes for any collective identities, females, religious people, teachers, etc etc In my experience old people are generally more wrong about things than my teenage neice, she just spits facts while old people spit orthodox opinions

My take: if it is someone you know and intend to interact more often, it pays to start with respect, especially if they are older and are giving some opinions/advice. Sometimes, there is a lot to process from such inputs. It's in your interest not to lose it by being arrogant from start. You can of course ignore, oppose or argue once the input is heard and understood. Being older doesn't guarantee maturity, knowledge or wisdom. Sometimes you won't find the values marching. In that case, disengage respectfully.

Generation gap?

I am sharing a screen shot of a separate conversation on this platform started by a student. I found it be coming from a young fellow who was inspired by these words of wlb and best pay etc. But then there may be a mature (10+yr ex) chap who reverted to him to focus on learning. I was amazed by the confidence of the author of the post in reverting to that fellow while taking a shot at his pseudo name also ( which was quite funny actually).

Ageism at workplace?

For me age is genuinely just a number. And work is worship. Yet, having people who are often my age or sometimes 10-20 years older than me reporting to me - becomes a discussion. Why is “age” even a discussion if one has proved their merit and mettle? In a country with a growing young population, we have some randomly contrasting values. Of course, basic respect for all is just a fundamental in the team’s culture. Do you think an employee should “respect” another employee just by the virtue of age?

Teammate problem

How do I deal with a teammate who treats every feedback as criticism and the goes on to defend his actions to the point that it’s impossible to have a civil discussion. Any pointers will help as I have tried almost everything I can think of. Talked to manager and manager doesn’t want to say anything coz he is one of the best in our teamđŸ€·
