I know we're a lax industry in terms of social norms, but some of our younger employees don't seem to get the basics of acknowledging seniority. They'll make inappropriate jokes and question their assignments. Am I just outdated or should I discipline them?

Having an open discussion is a good place to start.

Quietly express your distaste, they’ll get the point (eventually). I don’t know what “discipline” them means but it doesn’t sound productive.

likehelpful

I don't think discipline is the answer because I mean we are adults. Just maybe have a convo with them and express your frustration?

Not so much the "inappropriate joke" part, but I have often had younger coworkers who assume that if you are older you don't understand the current technology or new design standards as well as they do. I don't let it bother me, our boss knows what I bring to the table and I am compensated well for that experience.

You’re fine, just remember they’re learning and need help like all of us did. I’d offer mentoring in areas where your/their management sees opportunity for growing.

So much of this is subjective these days. What would be an example of an inappropriate joke? Aside from dad jokes, I think youve got to be careful.

Questioning assignments I think is a bit less subjective. Are they repetitive and dull? Tough, kid! Welcome to the real world.

I take pride in being an old lady

Questioning assignments respectfully is a good thing. If they make you realize that something could’ve been done in a smarter way, you learn with them.

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
