Why are younger generations so sensitive these days? I made edits to a slide to speed up the process and the team member got upset and cried because their feelings were hurt that I corrected their work. Seriously what is wrong?! I complimented their efforts and said I’d own updates to get it done faster.

hold on, I came across a post a few days earlier where the person was confused because his manager made the edits in the deck without asking him to do so. Are you his manager by any chance?

I am secretly wishing this is true!

As someone from this younger generation, one of the reasons I've observed, is that a lot of people haven't really learnt to fail, growing up.

They've always had or achieved the things they aimed for, partly because their goals have been put in place by helicopter parents planning their life for them.

Sadly, taking criticism and learning to grow despite life's harshest obstacles is a skill they haven't mastered. Even I'm still learning to be better at it, in no small part thanks to Covid induced obstacles.

If you're interested in another perspective, there's a great video by Simon Sinek on the Millenial Generation you can look up.

Cheers!

Great to hear you being open to constructive feedback and learning. With this attitude you will go places!

Might be a one off case. Why is generalization necessary? And no one cries over a few edits, there is probably more to this that you aren't telling or that you probably don't know about.

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?
