At what point did you resign to the fact that you’d have a boss who was in middle school when you were a few years into your career.

It does take getting used to. Luckily, my kids are in their teens, so I’ve kept up with the latest cultural references. I try to check myself if I want to reference a song or actor from, say, the 1990s. (I told an Account kid once that I was a big fan of Elvis Costello and he had to look him up on Spotify.)

Welcome to the working week, indeed

I’m only really aware of it when it’s a bad boss or a bad co-worker. I work with a creative team that ranges in ages from Gen Z to Gen X. I’m Gen Jones, and we all mesh well. Outside of creative it’s a different story.

I called it Junior High not Middle School (X-ennial Xer here)

I’m 43. I called it junior high I guess, too. But my kids school district calls it middle school so it’s changed for me.

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!
