I've been at my CU for a decade. I was a mentor and trainer before coming to my current department 5 years ago. My boss treats me like I'm fresh out of highschool (I'm approaching 35). She has only ever worked at this Credit Union from the time she was 17 as an intern. She can't keep up with technology and how banking is changing. Talks about how things work in the branch when she hasn't worked in one for 20 years. It's annoying. Any ideas how to tell her I know what I'm doing. Kindly back off?

I would go about it asking a lot of questions. What do you think about x or y sorta thing. Sometimes, just getting them to think about things from your perspective without being directly challenged helps. I read a book called Radical Candor, and it has a whole chapter about talking to your boss about these types of things. But if all else fails, it might be time to try and get a different boss. Hope all goes well!
