What do you do when your manager is younger than you and thinks it would be difficult for him/her to guide your behavior towards his / company goals?

You are not so young. Your hair is turning white and the hair line is receding.  The IT ,ITES revolution started in India in the late,ninetys,and became robust only by.People who were young in were jobless for at least5 years before the boom and now getting old and unemployable in the ITES sector as their capacity to do multitasking and learning new skills recede. And younger people just graduated in full of energy overtake them very fast. Even surviving is becoming difficult for the older generation. BUT WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? It must be more difficult for the rest of South Asia where the IT revolution was not very successful. 

Relocation to Bengaluru or Gurgaon nee Gurugram the bright lights in the Indian growth story of7% GDP growth is only possible for a bachelor and not possible for a person married and with kid in eastern India. The pay is not enough to shift your family and living in an overcrowded bachelors accommodation day after day doing the GRAVEYARD SHIFT becomes very difficult. As goes the old English saying when a horse grows old and is unfit to work you shoot him. But when a worker gets old you leave him to die fending for himself.

  • These days organizations promote young Millennials into leadership positions and make more effort to retain top talent
  • Having a younger boss can be an emotional situation & need to deal with it on an emotional level. If you don’t deal with your feelings, it will impede your productivity
  • You need to treat this as any other business relationship. What matters the MOST is to treat them with respect
