This can be jarring, at first, for
a career employee
as it feels like
you’ve been leapfrogged.
After a couple of months however,
you realize that she’s a boss
just like any other.
That means boss rules apply.
You adapt to HER management style,
not the other way around.
Because if upper management
wanted the same ol’, same ol’,
they would have hired
an older worker like…
well… you.
They didn’t want someone
with 20 years of company history.
They wanted someone
who would do things differently.
That means YOU are expected
to do things differently also.
Age is simply another factor.
I’ve had great younger bosses
and I’ve had sucky younger bosses.
All these bosses, however,
were just that… my boss.
