Joan Johnson: I won't even take the job @ d first place cuz he/she might get me upset and dat aspect of the age will come into my mind, and i might end up getting fired.If age had anything to being boss, obviously you would be boss to a younger person, yes? Since you aren't, that means age does not come into the equation. . .so why on earth would you want to make it an issue? Do what is required of you and no one would have to do something that might upset you (which I am certain you mean correcting you or telling you you are doing a shitty job) Nigerians just like to use their ages to get away with crap. You have an adult doing something so obviously senseless yet a younger person isn't allowed to correct them because of his age. If people were allowed to call others out on their nonsense, regardless of the caller and callee's age. . .our country won't be in the sorry state it is today. Don't criticize the President for his non-action in combating murderers, he is old enough to be your father. Don't Criticize the Pastors for fleecing the poor, they are older than you. Don't criticize the uneducated teacher teaching you nonsense, she is older than your mother. Jeedus!! 6 Likes |

I am priviledged to have had people who are far older work or working for me. It's all about understanding, I don't insult them and I don't allow them to insult me. As a young person having older men work for you, all you need to do is to show them empathy. It is circumstances that made it so. |

All my bosses are older than me but soooooo many that my position is higher than are faaarrr older than me. Addressing them by their names is just too heavy for me to pronounce... So i call the youth Bros, the women, mama or aunty while i adress the men according to their tribes; Ibo (igew), yoruba (egbon), bini (epa) ishan (owahen) etc. 1 Like |

I'm 24 turning 25 by jan7 and I work as a nurse in JB clinic been working there for 3years now and I'm opportuned to have many people below me especially elderly ones. I dont dare call any of them by name rather I add oga or madam or mrs cos I feel very uncomfortable calling the person by name buh when it comes to work I expect 100% from dem all any of them that misbehaves I don't waste time to let them know that I'm higher in cadre to them. Some senior subordinates have used age before as an excuse to try and misbehave with me and after I dealt with them things changed |

Only senseless arrogant human beings take such nonsense into consideration. Productivity and job or business promotion is all about skill, performance, experience and intelligence. If not the president would have been the oldest man in the country, governor oldest man in the state e.t.c. Silly way of thinking. Those are the kind of people they term enemies of progress , the same category of people who will see four young boys with a bright future and kill them for no reason just because they know they will inevitably do far better than they will ever do in life. Infact this is an ALUU mentality. 1 Like |

naiko: i had a similar experience some years back,where i supervised 31 people in a team.i was brought in mid way into a project.you need to see the attitudes but with God i was able to complete the project with them.one of my tactics then was to accord them maximum respect,when i have to take decisions base on the job i give them the opportunity to make suggestions why i remind them that every decisions from 'them' will be final,i ran an open regime while gave the chance to work with less supervision. That makes alot of sense |

Age shouldnt be considered in place of professional experience and skill. I have been fortunate to supervise people older than me and its all about providing effective leadership to your subordinates. Anybody that feels inferior and threatened by your age is a phucking d!ckhead,IMHO |

The nature and style of the boss (and your own too) will determine whether you will enjoy the working relationship or not. In my former place of work, our Head of Dept was just 32 years and we had managers (and supervisors, even officers sef) of 40 plus under him, but he was a friendly guy and everyone enjoyed working with him. Here too, in the biggest unit within our department, their oga is 31 years old and he is only older than 1 person in his 7-man unit, every other member of his team is oder than him. But na oyinbo sha, so easy to work it. They have good working relationship. Personally, never experienced it, but I don't have a problem with working with a boss younger than I am. It will only motivate me to set a target for myself too. 1 Like |
