As a supervisor myself, I have to agree with all of the above. The younger generation needs to respect their elders, stop whining, come in first, leave last, work hard, and be hungry!

That said, sometimes you have a boss so bad that you just have to leave and find another job. That happened to me once. The good news is that I recognized it early and took my time finding the next job.

What you say has a way of getting around. Additionally, what you listen to (even if you never actually say anything) has a way of getting around.

I have experienced this as well, and it can be a tough one to overcome. Best advice I have here is to try and see things from the other person's perspective.

My boss just does not understand people of a younger generation that are moving up into middle management now. My co-workers and I were blown away the other day when my boss said that he did not know what a Nintendo Gameboy was. I really see conflicts like this with my own boss because of the generation gap.
