Managing older employees in your team
As a young 22-23 year old working as area sales manager (ASM) how do you handle older employees who’re not ready to accept you as a manager?
I work in a bank as PM, I don’t know how to handle stakeholders who are of my uncle’s age. It would be helpful if anyone share their experiences in working with elder colleagues.
Be respectful. That’s usually all they want.
And they take time to understand things but they eventually get there.
If they’re being impolite to you or totally not listening to you. That’s material for complaining
I'm 23 and most of the stakeholders that I handle are of the age 35-50. It's a bit awkward at first, but then they're chill and I'm also getting used to it. But I'm not a PM.
Pretend to listen and mindless revert at correct times. Most of them have their own glory day stories of struggle whereas you have it easy. And be wary of them, they’re literal leeches who have only survived the system by ass licking or stagnating.

Just break the ice. Start by, “ Hi…. Sorry for the unplanned meeting but I want to talk about my compensation.”
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 mer...
Hey everyone, Hope it's going well.
What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.
Look forward to heari...
