responsibilities

'Are YOU COMFORTABLE Working with PEOPLE of Different Ages?'

When I was still working with my previous companies, I don’t mind working with colleagues of different ages. It is a way of learning things that we don’t know. In fact, they do have different personas. I don’t mind about this matter. As long as, they are doing their responsibilities in the workplace. ‘Do you feel comfortable working with people of different ages?’ 'Can you work with a boss younger than you?'

Yes, I have worked with all types of ages, ethics and it was all fine. My boss was older than me though.

@Shavkat It is good to get along with everyone. The company I worked previously worked with others around the world too, so we were communicating with people all over.

@infatuatedbby I had also experienced working with foreign people. It really needs to open and diverse on working with them.

I do agree with you. Business Ethics need to consider in working with co-workers of all ages.

I think it is, my friend. I assumed that you are still a student, right? It can be relatable when working with other students to accomplish certain projects at school.

I've worked with a younger boss or an older colleague from the past. But I think I like working on my own that's why I chose to be a freelancer instead.

@Shavkat It's hard when you have a boss who keeps breathing down your neck.

@cherriefic The worst boss is being so incompetent. I can't bear working with him or her.

We are in the same boat. I am working as a freelancer and basically, I am working at home.

I'm quite sure I worked for a boss younger than me, especially as I neared retirement age. I don't mind working with people of different ages.

I also experienced working with bosses younger than me before. I don't think it is a hindrance to work effectively with them.

I don't mind who I work with as long as they do their job properly.

I am into your opinion about this matter. It is not a good way to compare oneself to other colleagues, too. It is not a healthy thing to do.

You have a point there, my friend. Humans can easily adjust to changes in their environment and that includes this matter. Welcome to myLot.

@AlejandroCardozo Indeed, my friend. We cannot refrain from working with other people. It is how we manage to work with them efficiently and effectively.

Working with the Corporate world you will have to deal with many people and deal with their differences. I am able to adjust as needed or when needed.

I can do the same thing. In my previous jobs, I used to work without my colleagues' presence. If I am needed to join in working with the team, that's the only time it is needed to be with them.

I think all my bosses are practically younger than me.

Sometimes I learn from them and sometimes I have to teach them, it goes both ways, so long as I am happy with what I am doing.

@Shavkat Yeah, sometimes they want to do things their way but it is not wrong to give suggestions.

I think there is nothing to collaborate with ideas when working with co-workers of all ages. I am not fond of it though. It is better to work in my own ways. If things needed as a team, then I am forced to do it.

When I was working at the office before, I can see all types of ages and for me it's better to work with older people than younger once

Honestly, I am more comfortable working at my own pace. If it needs to have this so-called 'teamwork.' That's the only time that I am working with colleagues of all ages.

That's nice, my friend. I can deal with different sets of people. On the other hand, I would prefer to work certain things by myself.

Yes i think all ages have a unique was of seeing things, and a unique insight into everything so it's important to get views from all ages.

I do agree with you. We can learn new things from them or can share what we know, too. It is a matter of collaborating to certain things at work.

You are right on this. We just need to have open-communication and be open to new ideas from these people, either young or old ones at work.
