The Awkwardness of the Age Difference
Are you a younger manager with an older employee? Then you should have experienced the awkwardness that this workplace relationship brings. This article helps bring a little awareness to the situation now that the number of older workers is increasing at an amazing rate. Simply put, the work styles of older workers are very different from younger workers and this breeds misunderstandings if you are lucky and conflict if you are not so lucky. Most can be avoided, though, if you only pay serious attention to the issue. Also check out my related article on the site.

Something as seemingly innocuous as misunderstandings over work style can lead to dismissal!
