[quote=bearishgurl]Of COURSE, seniority means everything! It DOESN’T MATTER if millenials “think” they are smarter than their superiors because they were “educated” and “know how to dive for data.” [/quote]
I don’t think millenials feel this way. We have learned that smarts don’t make you better. We are more concerned about results and the bottom line. We are results oriented people so something like the word “think” is not involved with our decision making. A more proper statement from a millennial would be “That guy makes $100k more than me cause he’s been here longer, but based on the last report he only generated $100k to the bottom line, whereas I brought in $250k. WTF”
[quote]Imho, millenials would do well not to judge their superiors unless they have actually walked in their shoes. Since they haven’t … and in many cases, don’t want to, they may never find out. [/quote]
I think there is some miscommunication going on here. I agree with your statement, but what I’m talking about does not involve judging people. I never judge my superiors unless I have something factual in hand. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt (senior/not my senior). Everyone is different and everyone wears different shoes young/old. I treat everyone with respect and when people do something puzzling, I ask why they did it instead of judging them instantly. Intelligent beings do things for a reason, and you need to understand why in order to grow your mind and your way of doing things. Millenials continue to seek improvement in both efficiency and technology so we can spend time doing other things. In order to do this, you need to understand all the ways you can do something and improve upon.
