FK1Bairn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) My work has taken on a load of new starts in the last few months including a new department manager. I feel really old, they are all early 20's with a couldn't give a f**k attitude. Sadly that attitude is extended to the older experienced staff like myself with a combined 100+ years service. They think they know it all and won't listen to experience. Edited April 28, 2022 by FK1Bairn Too many mentions of feeling old 😡 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how many times I've heard this complaint over the decades, I get the impression that this is the experience of every 40+ worker who hasn't slithered their way into management. Top tip: I've managed to avoid my expertise being ignored by never having any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 And now we're back in the office the lanyard wankers are back. Started new job May 2021, so WFH Ft till this year and slowly going back in a couple of days a week. Got ID badge that also works the doors, but no requirement to wear it on provided lanyard. Mine is in pocket on way to work, in hand through doors and lies on desk rest of day, the provided lanyard not even attached, in the bottom of laptop bag. But some folk have it round their neck like a badge of pride and and not only wear it all day but on way to work, way home, and worst sin of all in the pub. Sure a couple probably wear it in house when WFH. Weirdos. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Regional Assistant Manager sounds like it might attract slightly more kudos than Assistant Regional Manager, imvho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I worked with a guy who had "Regional Manager (Assistant)" in his email signature. He thought it made him sound grander than a normal "Assistant Regional Manager", which was his job, but had to change it when people kept thinking he was the Regional Manager's PA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
